FISHING: Good

REPORTS: What more can we say, the consistant fun continues! The river below Holter is down about 200 cfs as of yesterday evening. This'll have about zero affect on the fishing. Cooler weather, overcast skies and little wind should make for another good day of fishing on this great tailwater. We're having lots of good dryfly action on a wide variety of patterns from #12 Goddards to tiny cripples. Subsurface we're doing well on black or red emerger patterns. It's hard to beat this river right now for the consistantly good fishing and large fish it's been producing. Here's a look at the latest Smith River numbers, sorry - it blew out BIGTIME!

HATCHES: Midges, blue wings, a few hoppers, caddis.

FLIES: Yellow poxy head buggers, green and chartreuse buggers, size 16 and 18 cripples and parachute patterns. Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12). For the dries, try palaminos in black, tiny comparaduns, size 18 cream colored cripples and parachute Adams, Griffith's gnats in 14 to 18, button emergers in 16s to 20s.
