On the Spring River, Mark Crawford at Spring River Fly Shop said the river is running at 460cfs and is a little cloudy. There have been good hatches of caddis flies and mayflies during the early morning and just before sunset.
There are a higher number of trout stocked at this time of year, so the fishing is good. Fluorescent fly patterns such as Cotton Candy and Y2ks have been producing catches. Snails and black woollies are also doing well. Check out Mark’s Blog for daily updates on river conditions and what they might be biting.
