It's that time of year when the air starts to cool off and the fishing starts to heat up. If I had half a brain I would of called in sick today...if you know what I mean. And now for our main event...The SPAWN! Brown trout are hitting the spawning grounds hard and if you're looking for a wall mounter now is the time to be fishing.
The white river is producing 100 fish days and the casual angelers are sitting on their couch drinking a beer watching Dancing with the Stars. So strap up and hit the river.
The browns are stacking in, and the bows are storing up for winter.
Guide Davy Wotton says the zebra midge is the go to fly and nymphs are producing big numbers. Sow bugs, olive scuds and streamers are also healthy choices. If fishing deeper water, throw on a smaller streamer and tease those browns until they can't take it anymore. If overcast, throw on the olive scud or sow bug. If you are forced to drift, the San Juan (of course) is producing miraculous numbers. Now...don't judge me, but if fishing darker water, don't be above throwing on a high vis egg pattern... as a last resort of course. Now let's get it on. Hit the river this weekend. Cast to The Other Side, and you'll have less bad days and more "Chad get off my leg we've only caught 50" days.
