Fishing Report

The fishing has been pretty good up here at Falcon’s Ledge. The lakes have been busy with Callibaetis and midges. Streamers have also been effective stripped slow. The most effective way to catch fish now is with a dry dropper rig with the dropper being 4-6ft long and 6-8ft long when it’s sunny and warm.

All the lakes are clear and the fish are hungry. Guests have had success using just dry flies during the midge hatches. Evenings have been best using a parachute adams.

The rivers are experiencing runoff now with all the warm weather we’ve been having. It’s possible to catch fish but be careful with the high flows. Focus on river edges and pockets for fish. Dry-droppers have been successful when fishing near the banks and deeper runs.

Bugs to have:

Lakes- Black, Brown, Olive Woolly Buggers, Mini leaches, callibaetis nymphs, Phlamin pheasants, SOS‘s, Copper Johns, Parachute Adams, Parachute Callibaetis, Zebra midges and Chironomids.

Rivers- Stimulators, Royal Wulff, Parachute Adams, Phlamin Pheasant, SOS, Pheasant Tail, Prince Nymph, Stonefly Nymph and Copper John

Rainbow Trout

The Lake fishing at Falcon’s Ledge has been excellent. The days have been cool to warm which has these fish in feeding mode. The lakes have been seeing some good callibaetis hatches along with a few damsels and midges.

The rivers and streams are low and haven’t really seen much runoff yet. Expect the rivers to be high in the next couple of weeks. Dry droppers are the most effective way to fish focusing on the deeper pools and runs. Cover lots of water quickly for best results.

Flies to have are:

Dries- Para Adams, PMX, Griffith’s Gnat, Caddis, Callibaetis

Nymphs- Damsel nymphs, Chironomids, Hare’s Ears, Callibaetis

The Lakes at Falcon’s Ledge and Six Lakes are getting cold and will freeze in the next week or two. The fish are active and are chasing streamers during the warmest times of the day. Black buggers have been the most consistant producer along with Olive and white.

The streams are too cold and have turned off for the season.

The fishing this fall has been excellent. The weather is cooling down and the fish are preparing for the colder months ahead.  Streams such as the Yellowstone and Uinta are producing good numbers of brook trout and rainbows. Flies to have here are Parachute Adams, Royal Wulff, Hoppers and PMX’s.

The stillwaters are picking up and the fish are keying in on ants and beetles. When the fish are not feeding on the surface a woolly bugger will do just fine.

Fishing on the streams and rivers have been great and will continue to be good as the temperature stays in the 80′s. The stillwaters are fishing great in the morning and evenings.

Yellowstone Cr.- Producing great numbers of fish on dries and droppers. Covering a lot of water is the best way to increase numbers of fish and possibly catch a grand slam. Flies to use are: PMX’s, Stimulators, Hoppers, Bugmeisters, Copper Johns, Prince nymphs and Caddis.

Rock Creek: The water is a little higher and off color than normal. Fishing with streamers along the edges and under cut banks has been producing. Flies to have are: Black Buggers, EH Caddis, Hoppers, Trudes, Prince nymphs, Copper Johns, Hare’s Ears and Pheasant tails.

Duchesne River: Fishing has been fair to good. The water is still a little warm and the fish are not as active. As the weather cools down the fishing will heat up.

Strawberry River: Unusually high flows for this time of year. Fishing is tough.

Stillwaters: Early A.M. and Late P.M fishing are the best times to fish the lakes. Midges are hatching at the coolest times of the day. Fliest to have are: Black, red, green chironomids, zebra midges, blood worms, para adams, ants, beetles and hoppers.

The rivers around Falcon’s Ledge are getting better and better. The water is finally down to fishable levels and the fish are hungry.

Yellowstone Cr.- Fishing is good. Fishing with attractors has been very productive along edges of current and near banks of the river.  In deeper pools a dry dropper works well. Flies to have are: Royal Wullf’s, Stimulators, PMX’s, EH Caddis and Hoppers.

Rock Creek- Water is still a little high but the fish are eating. Good hatches of PMD’s and Caddis are bringing fish to the surface. Flies to have: PMD’s, Para Adams, Stimulators and PMX’s

Uinta River- Fishing has been excellent. Brookies and Cutthroats are attacking anything that floats over them. Flies to have: Royal Wullf, Royal Trude, Bugmeister and Hoppers.

Whiterocks- Fishing is good. The whiterocks has been productive just above campgrounds. Fish are behind rocks and downfall. Flies to have: Para adams, para hoppers, ants, stimulators and EH Caddis.

Some of the best dry fly fishing is just around the corner so get those bugs ready and get out here.

The cold and rainy weather here at Falcon’s Ledge has the fish in feeding mode. Fishing dries, nymphs and streamers have been producing good numbers of fish. Lots of rainbows have been active with the occasional tiger and brown competing for food.

Flies to use are purple, black, white buggers. Captain america, choronomids, phlamin phesants, copper johns, pheasant tails, Higa’s SOS’s and some fish have been taking ants and beetles on top.
