Spring Creek Update (08/02/2012)

Spring Creek has been fishing pretty well during the early morning hours. I've only been fishing when the water temperatures are below 64 - 66 degrees Fahrenheit. From the reading that I've done, the trout will begin to lose weight when the temperatures reach 70 degrees. Even when the water is between 64 - 66 degrees, I release a fish as quickly as possible and do not spend a lot of time documenting the trout.

I've been using mostly inch worms, scuds and a variety of Czech and caddis nymphs. If I want to catch a fish on top I will fish an ant or some type of terrestrial pattern or a combination of any of those flies. Below are a few fish pictures that I've snapped quickly before releasing the fish as fast as possible to ensure a healthy return back to the water.

Also, I would like to give a special thanks to the guys from Nomad nets for sending us a pair of nets. My Nomad Hand Net has done an outstanding job netting a lot of fish while offering an extremely light weight, durable option to securing a fish. Oh and it floats! Check it out in some of the pictures below from the most recent trip to Spring Creek.  I had a great time on the water with Patrick Williams!

Enjoy!
