Silver Creek - July 1st, 2004

FISHING: Great
Silver Creek continues to fish well. The Green Drake is a major player on Conservancy waters and Green Drake patterns fished to risers or even blind will produce fish. The hatches of Baetis and PMD's as well as several kinds of small caddis keep the conveyor belt of food moving for these fish. There is good hatch activity in the mornings and periodically through the afternoons. The evenings have been nothing short of spectacular when the wind is down. Few anglers are fishing the evening hours and there are plenty of rising fish to stalk and present flies to. The action on the sloughs also continues to be good with fish coming readily to the surface for well tied and well presented Callibaetis imitations. Green Drake patterns also will work for the first few casts in the slough on the right day. The lower water near Point of Rocks has hardly been fished at all since the Brown Drakes. Keep checking in on this area as random hatches throughout the day can provide some blue ribbon fishing with no one around.
Save Silver Creek.org [url "http://www.savesilvercreek.org/"][#0000ff]SaveSilverCreek.org[/#0000ff][/url] is a website dedicated to pertinent information concerning the state of our blue ribbon fishery. Visit this website and learn more about some of the issues which challenge Silver Creek's health.
Important Note: - Please use the Nature Conservancy's cleaning stations (dip tanks for waders and boots) along Silver Creek to prevent the spread of New Zealand mud snails, a non-native species that could ruin the fishery.
Warm Springs/Trail Creek
These Big Wood tributaries are beginning to fish well in most reaches. There has still been very little pressure on these waters as the summer crowds have yet to arrive. Some nice wild fish are around these systems, just cast attractor patterns and stay on the move.
Dollar/Penny and Lake Creek Lakes
A great place for the kids. Come by the shop and we can set you up with everything you need to get the littlest anglers on the water's edge. Idaho Fish and Game stock these waters regularly to ensure the success of our little fishing buddies.
