September
2nd - Fall weather really seemed to arrive quickly
this year. This weekend is supposed to
be decent and in the 70s, but by Sunday it's going to dip
back down to the 50s and 60s.
The best patterns right now
are varying mayflies and parachute patterns like an Adams or a
Purple Haze. The purples in particular are getting the
best feedback, so stock up on them. Depending on
the weather patterns, we also have a variety of
Mahoganies, Yellow PMDs, and baetis. I haven't
heard of any October caddis flying yet, but
their nymph counterpart,
the orange Serendipity, is doing
well. Streamers are also effective.
Stick to basic colors like black, brown, and olive. Very
soon, we will be getting those large browns spawning up from
the Clark Fork, and that's when the lower section of Rock
Creek will come alive.
Rest in peace, Douglas Persico. Fly-fisherman,
surrogate grandfather to all, the best of us, and resident old
grump. You will be sorely missed, Pops. Thank you for touching
all of our lives in a way that only you could......we'll see
you at the next bend in the river.
