Hopper fishing thrives in conditions like this and the PM, and unlike many others, stays cool enough to keep the trout,,, HAPPY TROUT!! Always be careful when releasing any fish in these conditions and try not to take them out of the water unless your going to photo them. Most of the fish we have been catching this year are quickly released instead of stressing them out for pics and that. Try and practice catch and release of all marginal or nominal fish and look only to photo the trophies or first timers... this will keep the population a little more vulnerable to not only daytime techniques, but nighttime ones as well. Fishing pressure is slowly slipping away with the bug hatches being a little less frequent, and as the water clears and drops, this will trigger some quality Hopper and Hairball fishing and that makes this time of year my favorite time of year!!!

Ruth Ann was our Brown Trout Slayer for the Reeling & Healing Event put on by Cathy Sero!!
She managed several nice browns to hand while spending a find summers day on the water

There are many creatures that come into the river after dark, all would be consider just a Larger Version of a Terrestrial by those Larger Versions of Brown Trout!
Midnight fishing should include a variety of Prey to be picked off in the Black

Tough to say when the first Eggin Opportunities will be this year, that always is at the mercy of the Kings. In as far as timing is concerned, between now and the end of September would be considered our trophy fishery as many trout will start to pack on for the up and coming spawn just months away. Look for Terrestrial and even Nymph fishing to thrive in these conditions, and minus a morning Trico, hatches have been sporadic at best. Book ahead for your Hairball as Hopper trips as we are experiencing a very positive season of both so far. We are entering our BIG fish season now!!
