Taylor River - August 15th, 2004

FISHING: Good
Current Conditions
Flow: 318 Almont
Clarity: Excellent
Water Temperature: Low to mid 40’s
Major Food Organisms: Midges, caddis, pmd’s and yellow sallies
Hatches: Midges, caddis, pmd’s and yellow sallies
14 Day Forecast: Look for excellent flows and great fishing between the dam and Almont. Most of the major hatches are done now, with the exception of a few caddis, and baetis.
Tips and Other Information: The river is still a “fuzz” high, and getting to the fish is the biggest challenge. As the flow drops (250 cfs), the “attractor” dry fly fishing will come into focus. Nymphing is your best choice right now, and an assortment of small beads will fill the bill. I like the water just above the Almont Post Office; it is treating anglers very well right now!
Effective Patterns: #16-18 Mysis, #18-22 Pheasant Tails, #18-20 Bead Head Pheasant Tails, #16 Rubber Legged Copper Johns, #18-20 Bead Hare’s Ear, #20-22 Mercury Baetis, #20-22 Sparkle Wing RS-II, #20-22 Mercury Midge, #20-22 San Juan Emerger, #22 Brassie, and #22-24 Dorsey’s Black Beauty.
