June Flyfishing Report and Covid

Posted by Ted Kraimer - June 1, 2020

June has arrived and usually the first of the big bugs on the river arrive with it. Isonychias should be in the fly box if you are headed out to the local rivers. Plenty of other bugs can be found on the water this time of year, too: March Browns, Sulphurs, Mahoganies and Black Caddis. Want to simplify your fly selection? Have Borcher’s Drakes and Robert’s Yellow Drakes in sizes 12, 14 and 16.

If headed to the local rivers, you will find them running high and stained from the recent rains and high water table – it’s not unusual for that to happen this time of year, just not welcomed. Some warmer, clear weather in the forecast should condense a lot of the hatches into the mornings and evenings but with all the rapid fluctuations in the weather, it’s anyone’s guess when the bugs will come off. Mosquitoes are a little more dependable so have some repellent with you.

Lake fishing for bluegill and bass is ideal right now. Both surface activity and small streamers/swimming nymphs are catching both species as they are in the shallow and most are in a post spawn mode. A couple of pike are around too, so don’t hesitate to cast a larger streamer along emerging weed beds and gradual drop offs.

Covid-19 continues to put a wrinkle in guiding – stay tuned for more info as we approach the current stay home order’s expiration, potential further easing, and associated safety guidelines. We are still booking trips and will perform them if we are able to do so, refunding deposits or rescheduling if not. Your understanding of the situation is appreciated – believe us: guides miss being on the water, our clients, and the income.

Good luck/Stay safe.
