It’s been a while since I last posted, probably the longest
I’ve gone since I started this blog in 2008, but there has been only a few
minor changes to my previous reports. The last two weeks have been stormy, gray
days, cold, and snow. Even chain controls over the summit with the last event
only a few days ago. These conditions can provide the ultimate trout weather,
and often do, but at this point most fair weather anglers are ready for summer.
The first change has been the flows have dropped a little. Glenshire went from
2,100 cubes down to 1,500 and with recent thunderstorms in the last 48 hours
has bumped up to 1,600. It’s the same story with the Boca inlet all the way
down to the state line. Fishing remains decent and good quality trout when (if)
you land them in the net, some of the rainbows have the most spectacular
coloration right now. Overall flows are on the big side and high water tactics still
prevail. We are starting to see more hatches like March Brown and Baetis
mayflies but the trout are still eating below, and smaller flies having been
producing. The sun is supposed to return next week with warmer temps but you
just never know what will happen in the Sierra. See you out there…
