PM River fly fishing report for May 13th, 2008

Water Conditions — Average depth and clarity.

Fishing Conditions — There have been some great trout caught recently.  I had one of my best trout trips ever last week… I also need to add that we landed a half dozen steelhead on the same day.  The streamer bite has been hit and miss. Fish have been rising consistently to the black quills and upstream the hendricksons and sulfurs are becoming more consistent. 

Tip -  Big streamers fished fast and erratic have been producing the biggest trout.
