Spring Creeks Reports

Midge and Baetis hatches have been making for decent dry fly action on overcast days, but nymphing will be the mainstay with sunny weather in the forecast this week.  Midge larva and pupa, caddis larva, mayfly nymphs, scud and sowbug patterns have all been effective.  A dry with emerger trailer worked well when the hatches were going, and nymphs without bead-heads worked better

The Spring Creeks are fishing well with midge and Baetis dries. Light nymphing has also been a good option lately. Small streamers have been catching some bigger Browns.  It shouldn’t be long before we see PMD’s hatching.

Creeks are still on winter rates until April 14th then the spring rates kick in on the 15th.  Late morning and early afternoons have seen some good dry fly fishing with Blue Winged Olives.  Nymph fishing with midge, baetis, eggs, sowbug and scud patterns has been reliable.   Be careful not to step on redds because rainbows are spawning in the creeks.

       Spring creeks are fishing well, but you will have to tough out the wind on most days.  Midges and Baetis hatches are sporadic, but the dry fly action is decent when conditions permit.  Nymphing with midge, mayfly, sowbug and scud patterns is pretty good.  Leeches have also been effective.  Look for Baetis hatches to improve

                Fishing has been decent on the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks.  There has been some good dry fly action with midges, and nymphing has been productive.  The fish aren’t as picky at this time of year and winter rates are only $40 a day now.  Subsurface fishing

        The Spring Creeks are fishing well, but wind can be a real pain over in the Paradise Valley.  Dry fly fishing has been hit or miss, but nymph fishing has been consistently good.   Some midges and even bwo hatches will get fish rising when conditions are right.  Sunny days and wind are usual not

Hatch fishing was tough on DePuy’s the other day.  We got a couple of small fish to eat dries.  Little gray midges were all we saw, no Baetis.  Nymphing wasn’t much better, especially if you don’t like to target reds.  We did get a couple to eat midge pupa and a 14" whitey on a Sawyer

         Brown Trout are still hanging out on the spawning beds, so avoid walking around in the creeks too much.  Baetis hatches are dying off, but midge hatches should get better into winter.  Small streamers and leeches will sometimes catch the attention of larger fish. Nymphing is best with the usual spring creek stuff like worms,

         Spring Creeks are a good option during late fall and winter.  Rates are now at $40 per day, and the fishing is easier without the crowds.  Brown Trout are spawning so avoid stepping on redds.  Baetis are hatching early in the afternoon with cloudy days being best.  Midge hatches are starting to improve and

                        Paradise Valley spring creeks are now on the winter rates of $40.  Milesnick Ranch is down to $50 for the rest of their season.  Midge hatches have been good during the morning with Baetis hatches coming off during the early afternoon.  Try
