Aug 2, 2020- EXCELLENT Seasonal Levels-- Some decent rain is in the forecast the next 2 days. July was one of the best summer months I have fished in several seasons and August is looking excellent also starting out . It's all about rainfall and the headwater springs and streams are still pumping out lots of water on the watersheds close by.  We have been taking some really  nice, healthy and hard fighting Rainbows in the 10- 18'' Range on Terrestrials including hoppers, ants & & beetles  on my stream trips . Please contact me for availability.  A huge favorite this season has been  my Introduction  to Flyfishing  Trips. These trips are always fun  at a mountain pond setting. and will get you started  as you  learn the equipment, flycasting, basic entomology, proper catch & release , trout , safety and much more. The last couple of hours you  get to test yourself in some high energy, high leaping Rainbow trout.. Gift Certificates can be mailed immediately.

"Roberts knows  the area waters with the sort of familiarity which can only come from a lifetime of angling, and he has just the sort of  laid-back personality that works equally well for putting novices at ease or offering tips to seasoned veterans. '' Jim Casada, The Angling Review

   Great Time To Fish   

 2020  AUGUST  FLYFISHING OVERVIEW -  August can be a slowdown month but not this year.  One of the gauges I use to determine trout health  &  fishability in the warmer months  is testing to see if trout will rise on a fly mid-day and they are running strong & hungry this year. As insect  aquatic hatches slow this month land based insects play a bigger part in the trout diet. This is  a fun time to try ant, beetle, grasshopper  and the many other terrestrials along streamside this month. One of the main considerations in  the handling of trout  at this time to keep them as wet as possible as you remove the fly hook, This means wetting your hands before touching them and getting them  back in the water as soon as possible. Trout are cold water creatures and much more delicate than bass . It is not a bad idea to take  any pictures of them in or under the water. Trout  this month are much more tippet and predator  shy as waters go down so 6x - 8x tippets can gsme changers especially in hammered public waters.
