Montana Fish Report

Flowing at 60+ CFS. August 7, 2012

Above Hangman’s Bridge Running nymph rigs can produce fish, really small mayfly nymphs, San Juan Worms, Copper Johns, PT’s and Stonefly Nymphs! Dry flies will work in the mornings with the periodic trico hatch and in the evenings with a periodic pmd hatch! Fish parachute adams, stimulators, tricos and PMD’s. The stocked sections around the bridges and the Carson River Resort have been fishing well for rainbows and our newly added Lahontan cutties.

The catch and release section below Hangman’s Bridge is good one day and slow the next. With the water lower, it depends on who has been there before you. Nymphing is good early in the day with small mayfly nymphs and slower in the afternoons on the hotter days. The fishing has been great one day and mediocre the next. The dry fly fishing is primarily in the evenings and mornings with PMDs and tricos coming out when the wind isn’t ripping. Hopper fishing can be good, better if it is windy.
