Conditions : LEES FERRY: Fly Fishing: Fish can be caught using a trifecta of different methods. First choice would be long drifts, sight casting to spawners, and sight casting to rising fish. The high flows have caused lots of food to stir up and has been evident to make for good conditions. We are also seeing signs of progress for a strong spawn this year. Combined with minimal traffic, things cant get much better.

Walk in: This section is fishing well, had a couple anglers give a report the other day said, they cannot remember the walk-in ever fishing so well this time of year. They reported catching fish with every thing they threw. One reported after releasing a trout he was rinsing his hands in the water with his rod on the ground next to him. Next thing he knew his rod was headed out in the river, he had caught another fish while his flies were just hanging there in the river. I would say these fish are pretty active in the walk-in section. T

Spin Fishing: All the reports I have receive for spin fishing are good. Most folks are using the large glo-bugs while drifting and cashing in. And I am getting other reports that gold spinners are doing well. And the marabou jig is producing a good number of trout. T
