: Silver Creek: The Creek continues to offer good activity for early to rise fishermen. The Tricos (size 20) have begun to dwindle although some mornings, depending on the stretch of river you choose to fish, these petite mayflies will still have a significant presence. Make sure you also come well-equipped for the Baetis emergence (size 20-22), as this is the main morning food source for the Rainbows and Browns of Silver Creek. Callibaetis (size 16) are also becoming more numerous on this spring creek, a welcome treat for those of us who have been straining our eyes to see our minuscule Baetis and Tricos. The Callibaetis should grow in number into September making for some superb angling on both the moving and still water sections. In the afternoons once the mayfly activity calms, try throwing grasshoppers near the banks on 3X or 4X tippet or use Crow Beetles (sizes 10-16). 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) |
