Spring Creek

Water Level / Clarity: 78 CFS at Axemann, median is 66 CFS | good summer levels

Water Temp: Low 60's | good color

Fishing Overview

Spring Creek is in good shape this week with slightly above normal levels with refreshing temperature readings. Watch for bumps in water levels with showers this week. Tricos are good in the morning and are bringing fish to surface.
Start the mornings with topwater action using tricos. Nymphing has been productive throughout the day with dry fly options during the evening. Terrestrials are working well. Try an ant or a beetle to search for risers during the day. Don't be afraid to fish the green weenie.

General Info

Specific Tips

Day time nymphing still be good. Look for fish eating in the riffles and try swinging caddis pupa or wet flies during the hatch. Beetles, ants, etc always a good bet along the edges. A dry-dropper rig with a sunken ant off the back is a great summertime strategy.
