FISHING: Good
The Green Drakes are in full swing this week on the Big Wood. The coming week should also provide good action with this insect. The bulk of the activity has moved to mid-valley with Box Car Bend being the epicenter of the bug activity. By next week start tracking the Drake into the Ketchum area and even north toward Hulen Meadows. The caddis activity on the Wood has been absolutely phenomenal for anglers standing on the right stretch right at dark. The easiest way to fish the caddis is to swing flies and try to feel the strike in the falling light. With enough glare and if an angler faces the right direction Caddis imitations that are buoyant can be seen good enough to catch fish in calm slicks. Don't forget to get up early to catch the Green Drake spinner fall; this event is often over about the time anglers are getting on the water. Try to be fishing by 7:00 A.M. if you want to see this event. Look for the bugs to be spinning over fast water and watch for fish activity in the areas below these spots that look like fish holding spots. If you don't feel like matching the hatch, just walk a lot of water and fish big stimulators to soft pockets. This can provide plenty of action. Keep those little yellow stone fly patterns ready as this bug should begin showing in great numbers this week.
