Delayed Harvest Stream Report 10-22-12

Updated Every Monday:  10-22-12

Water Conditions:  Temp 58⁰   84cfs  http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?03446000

Hatches: tiny BWOs, creme midges, October Caddis

Fly Suggestions:  October Caddis pupae size 8, Orange Palmer, Orange Stimulator, Boss Hogs size 12 and 16, Purple Prince nymphs size 14, Red Rubber legged Copper Johns size 14 and 16

General Information: Well it appears that the days of standing in one spot and catching 15 or 20 fish are behind us, at least for another week or so when the second stocking occurs. The first batch of fish has wised up a bit and require a smaller, somewhat more realistic fly to produce results. The lower water conditions don’t help either, so you also may have to be a bit stealthier on approach to the water.

Projected Conditions: The 10 day forecast promises continued cool temperatures, with little chance of rain. [it is that time of year after all]

Delayed Harvest Stream Report 10-15-12

Updated Every Monday:   10-15-12

Water Conditions:  Temp: aprox. 100cfs, still a bit above normal. But none too much     

Hatches:  October caddis, midges

Fly Suggestions:  below the surface an olive soft hackle, small pink egg pattern, or a Super Duper are a good bet, a bushy attractor, such as a yellow stimulator, or a Tennessee Wulff should draw a strike. General Information: the Madison Co. Delayed Harvest water continues to fish well for me with some of the early stockers coloring up nicely. I’m getting good reports from other Delayed Harvest streams as well, such as the N. Mills, West Fork, and Little River.  

Projected Conditions: staying  October cool with a little rain in the forecast for Thurs., stable temps. And dry after that.

Big Bow on Delayed Harvest

Fly Suggestions:  March Browns, Klinkhammer, Headlight Caddis, Wooly Buggers, Zonkers

General Information:  Delayed Harvest streams are fishing great this week.  Still loads of fish.  With higher water levels, consider using Simms Wading Staff.  Also, don’t forget your split shot.  Fish are looking up and hitting dry flies more and more.  What a great time to get on the water.

Projected Conditions:  Temps will be warming up throughout the week and DH fish are taking naturals.
