: Silver Creek: The Brown Drake hatch has started. It has been coming off at all times of the day. The spinner fall usually happens in the evenings but came off at 9:00 am on Tuesday and lasted for 2 hours. It pays off to check the lower creek often and we should see the hatch for the next couple of days. I would have plenty of spinner patterns which are tied lighter and a little smaller. My favorite is Harrops Paraspinner and Hackled Spinner imitations. The fish have already become spooky and you must have multiple different patterns to throw at the fish. I also like Parachutes and Cripples and at dark use a big fly. The Nature Conservancy has been inconsistent. With the warmer temperatures the hatches will come off in the mornings and into the early afternoons. Big PMDs in sizes 16-18 and small Baetis are still the main players. Baetis are very small and sizes 20-24 are a must. Try a Paraspinner and a ¾ spent Baetis and fish these on 6x and 7x tippets. Green Drakes are also showing up on the slower sections. You will see some flying ants and a few beetles mixed in. Reported by: Silver Creek Outfitters |

| About: - Silver Creek offers anglers the chance to stalk big rainbow and brown trout. This flat water spring creek has daily mayfly hatches and unparalleled "match the hatch" dry fly fishing. Silver Creek has the highest density of trout of any river its size in the U.S. Combine this with the smorgasbord of insect hatches and it's easy to recognize this stream as the best spring creek in the nation. There are many miles of Silver Creek to fish and it would take weeks to fish all the good locations. (more on Silver Creek) |
