Stream: Tulpehocken Creek

Water Conditions: Summer Conditions/ very low

Date of Update: 8/28/2008

Author: Chad Horrigan

Highlight: CFS (flow in cubic feet per inch) - cfs 55(low)
Temp. - 66degrees
Clarity- good


General Update: At the current level (55cfs) the stream is flowing just about normal for this time of year,however water temps are decent with a release temp from the dam at 66. With the current flow and air temps, look for fishing to be best during the first and last few hours of light.
The Tricos hatches have been very heavy this year, but as of late have become somewhat selective. Try fishing a Trico Dun early or spinner pattern later in the morning to rising fish. The hatch started off a little slow but as of late it has been very heavy. There have also been some decent late morning caddis hatches. During the evening is a great time for fishing nymphs as well.With the decent water temps and good flows the fish should still be pretty active. Try a lightning bug or small pheasant tail fished deep.


Specifics and Tips: When the surface activity slows... try fishing the riffles, slowly and methodically with small nymphs. This is a good tactic for these conditions.
Trout will feed more actively during the mornings and evenings.. Tully trout can be selective... We are fishing the Dry-Dropper combinations with a CDC Caddis Adult and a CDC Soft Hackle as the dropper. This set-up has been producing very well!


Other Information: Be sure to stop in the store next time you visit the Tully... we will be happy to share our favorite fly patterns with you. Also check out our instructional classes - Fly Tying & Fly Fishing Education

Clarity- good


General Update: At the current level (125cfs) the stream is flowing normal for this time of year. Current levels should hold steady over the next few days. With the current heat, look for fishing to be best during the first and last few hours of light.
The Tricos hatches have really turned on over the last few weeks. Try fishing a Trico Dun early or spinner pattern later in the morning to rising fish. The hatch started off a little slow but as of late it has been very heavy. There have also been some quality Sulphur hatches. Both of the two common Sulphur species imitations have been taking fish. These are basically yellow sz 16 and 14. At this level however, the hatches should be pretty consistent. During the day is a great time for fishing nymphs as well.With the decent water temps and good flows the fish should still be pretty active. Try a lightning bug or small pheasant tail fished deep.


Specifics and Tips: When the surface activity slows... try fishing the riffles, slowly and methodically with small nymphs. This is a good tactic for these conditions.
Trout will feed more actively during the mornings and evenings.. Tully trout can be selective... We are fishing
