Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: DWR says fish numbers in the river are very good. Downstream of Echo Reservoir, caddis and stimulator flies are good choices, and caddis and Royal Wulff flies are proven in the Blue Ribbon stretch that runs from Rockport Reservoir down to Echo Reservoir. Hopper patterns fished along the banks can draw vicious strikes from every kind of trout, and a small dropper fly beneath the hopper can catch fish that ignore it. Nymphs fished in daylight can still be very productive: pheasant tails, hare's ears, sow bugs, chironomids and zebra midges are all good choices. On spinning gear, DWR says crankbaits that look like young trout do best, curly tail jigs in assorted colors make another good choice, and size 4 spinners usually do very well on trout, both in the Blue Ribbon stretch and on the rest of the river.
