Small Streams Fishing Report 5/1/2020

Area Small Streams

Overview

As the snow melts and the small streams start to rise in flow, the water has the potential to be off color or washed out. This is normal for small streams during the runoff season, but that doesn’t mean the fishing is bad necessarily. Try nymphing things like worms, leeches, and sow bugs.

Location

Area Small Streams

Overview

The few small streams that are freestone might be a bit warm to fish right now. The tailwater streams will have slightly better fishing temps. If you do go out and get on some fish, take the necessary precautions and make sure you are not hurting fish. Terrestrials and droppers will likely be your most productive method.
