Local Fishing Report 09/20/2012

Fall is officially here, and the fishing on our local rivers remains strong.  With the crowds of August gone, the Big Wood is fishing well again.  General mayfly patterns are working well on the wood.  When they won't come up to eat the big bugs, try a small Baetis or Trico fished behind your larger dry.

Silver Creek is also a good bet right now.  Trico hatches have subsided, but we've seen good numbers of Baetis and Callibaetis around 10:00 O' Clock.  Once the bugs are gone, try hoppers, ants, and beetles mid-day.

The fishing in Copper Basin has slowed down, due to low water and colder temps.  However, if you want to give it a try, there are definitely still fish to be caught.  General attractor are still the best bet in copper basin.  Fish faster and deeper water than you would earlier in the year.

The Lower Lost is fishing very well.  Fish are still willing to eat Crane Flies, and Cranes will sometimes bring the biggest fish to the surface.  If the Crane bite slows down, try a dry-dropper combo with a big dry and a small nymph.  There are also Tricos hatching, so throw a few in your box and look for heads.
