Fishing Conditions

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.
