It's still trico time on Silver Creek and despite some pretty heavy crowds it's possible to get away a little.  The pmd spinner fall has been strong as well and the afternoon callibaetis has been getting better and better and will pick up momentum as we get into September.  LOTS of hoppers as well.

Another take...

 

Ok, for the past 2 weeks I have essentially been away from my computer.  Pros and cons with that.  I have been on the river 7 days a week though.  It is smokey and hot here.  Water levels have all dropped and it's hopper and trico time.  The bugs have been starting on Silver Crek around 7:45 AM and today there was a good pmd spinner fall in the Nature Conservancy section of Silver Creek that lasted until about 11:15 AM...  Almost no baetis where I was.  Just tricos, pmd's, damsel flies and hoppers.

Just about all of our water is starting to fish!  Green drakes are just getting going on the Big Wood River and water flows have dropped enough to make most of our rivers fishable and clear despite the fact they are still moving along and not necesarrily easy to wade.  This is your chance to fish big bugs on the Big Wood.  Green Drakes & Golden Stones...  The water in places is high enough to keep some people away but if you are willing to poke around it could be worth every rose-thorn cut...
