Fishing Locations

After a couple mud plugs, the Stone is back in action. It's running around 3130cfs but still proceed with caution when floating as wave trains and hydraulics are nasty in some sections. Please check water temperatures before you float, as certain areas are getting up to 70 degrees. Hoppers, Stoneflies, caddis, PMDs and worms are all on the menu depending on which section you are in. Midday has been fishing a little tough with the high sun and lack of clouds lately. Morning Chubbie-droppers for the Nocturnals, and afternoon Hopper-dropper rigs tight to the bank have resulted in some nice fish hitting the net, along with lots of whitefish on the dropper. We have had some good reports from anglers getting fish on streamers as well. Try stripping small and flashy streamers through the faster water. The evening caddis hatch has been great and will have lots of fish looking up. Shorter nymph rigs with some split shot have also been productive. Also dont overlook seams below islands, as lots of fish will be holding there.  Before you go, be sure to check out your boat ramp options, most are in good shape but some tend to change quite a bit after the runoff.
