Fishing Report: July 12th, 2012

Hot outside but fish are still looking up!

Fred and Ward did an excellent job with their perseverance stalking fish today.  It was a tuff day for the dry fly fishermen.  I think the fish are getting a little educated and with the 90 degree weather it has made the fishing conditions a little tuffer.  Spent Caddis and Emerging PMD’s and Cripple PMD’s worked for us.  Got a few fish on an ant!  We had our best luck by anchoring up and getting after them.  First cast is always your best shot!  Lots of dead insects on the water so think that way when your tying on flies.  Henry’s Fork Caddis? Spinners?  Throw it at them-Reach Cast-And present it!
