FISHING: Good
Big Wood River
Expect this week to be one of the best fishing weeks of the summer on the Wood, as long as the rains hold off. The fish in the Wood have been given a week of rest, the water has remained at a good flow and is getting cooled off with the showers. Trico spinner falls are happening on the lower half of the river. The yellow Crane fly is still out and about in the morning. A scattering of Stoneflies still have many fish keying on big dry flies, and hoppers are beginning to take fish as well. Rusty Spinners are the fly to fish over the morning and evening rises. This fly will imitate a plethora of spent winged mayflies, (dead bug) and there are numerous small hatches of random mayflies every day on the Wood this time of year. There is still some evening caddis activity, which tends to increase as August approaches. Before lunch and after dinner remain the best times to be on the water, but anglers that cover a lot of water in the afternoon will tempt plenty of fish to their flies. Get ready, it is almost flying ant season here.
