Trophy caught during the Brown Drake Hatch.

David T. Glasscock Idaho Angling Services Idaho Fly Fishing Report Guided fly fishing 208-788-9709 August 6, 2008 Silver Creek: The early morning spinner falls of Trico and PMD are in full swing. One must be out early, by 7:30 to catch the action. By 11:00am these spinner falls are over. The Callibaetis hatches are just about to begin. Hopefully by mid August, we will see heavy immergences of these fabulous Mayflies. The Blue Damsels are at the peak of their hatch period. Fishing is excellent! Big Wood River: The Big Wood River is now flowing at an optimal level of 190 cfs. Many large trout have moved into the shallow riffles and pockets. We have seen good hatches of small Baetis and the Little Yellow Cranefly. Evening Caddis hatches are thick and some egg laying Caddis spinners can be found plying the water early morning. Most of the Caddis are fairly small, so sizes 18/16 brown Elk Hair or Tent Wing patterns work best. Big Lost River: The Big Lost River below Mackay Reservoir has been steadily flowing at 430 cfs. Wading from the public access points is becoming easier. The fishing has been good with nymphs and we have seen some afternoon hatches of Baetis. The PMDs and Little Yellow Stones have about finished for the season. The Tricos are just starting and should run thru September. The large Brown Cranefly is out in force. Fishing is excellent!   Idaho Angling Services, LLC  208 David Street Picabo  Bellevue, Idaho 83313  208/788-9709   info@anglingservices.com
