PM River fishing report for May 30th, 2008

Water Conditions — Getting a bit low and clear

Fishing Conditions — The fishing has been hit or miss with our crazy weather… two frosty nights this week.  The sulphurs and hendricksons have been tailing off, while the gray drakes are getting heavier.  The isonychias have been good in the upper sections.  Jory said that a friend and him boated three trout over eighteen inches in a short night of mousing.  The streamer fishing has been slow.

 

Tip: If your headed this way for a trip bring everything.  With the unpredict- able weather versatility is mandatory… even though it should be dry flies and shirt sleeves it may end up being jackets and streamers.
