Sorry I haven't posted another report in quite a while. Things have been hectic trying to get the main site up, all the while chasing some major hatches, and laying the smack down on unsuspecting trout on foam and rubber legs.
No smallie trips this month yet, but we've been slammed by a mid summer pig wallering rain so the rivers have come back up and will be floatable for a while after the mud pushes out.
All trips as of late have been out of Mountain Home on the White. Fish have been smacking foam on the back end of our Sulphur hatch on the sunny days. Bumper crop caddis hatches are still going late in the evening (and will continue till probably September) in the really buggy stretches. Big fish are still coming up on them. I've seen several two footers surfing on them, had anglers stick them. Smaller line, bigger flows, and bigger fish have proved a bit daunting for most anglers. Video below of some of the action
note: The angler, Randy, may look familiar from the last post. This was a completely different trip. It was so good a week and a half prior that he wanted to do it again.
For the nympho heads.... good numbers of fish are being caught on midges (it doesn't matter what color, they're all good...thread and a bead), small san juans, scuds, and baetis nymph stuff. Nocturnal stones should be out starting this week down river so the Pat's rubber legs and other Stoney nymphs can drum up some bigger bites.
River has had drastically varying flows. I've seen 75 cfs-24,000. We just had that 4 day rain so they should push some water for the next few weeks. Big water and drying conditions make for some awesome cicada and cricket bug fishing.
Main site is almost done so keep looking for it at www.troutandtimber.com .
