Current Spring Creeks Fishing Report

2023-09-25

BWO, blue wings, tiny floaters, whatever you want to call them, they are out. This should make for some great dry fly fishing! Midge hatches have been pretty consistent in the mornings, with fish often eating larvae just below the surface. We have had success with an extended body BWO pattern (16-20) with an unweighted midge larvae 6-12" below.

GO-TO FLIES:

- 401k Baetis #18
- Morgan's Midge #20
- Brook's Sprout Midge Black #20
- Hale Bopp Leech Black #18
- Darth Baetis Grey #18
