Spring Creek Fishing Report – February 1, 2010
The Rainbows have begun to spawn and the eggs from the Brown Trout spawn are still in the redds. Please do not wade near the redds. Leave the spawners alone.
The Spring Creeks are producing some sporadic dry fly fishing with Midges and some pretty good nymph fishing..
The Midge hatches are sporadic and are occurring on calm mornings and sometimes again in the afternoons. My favorite Midge patterns have been: our Captive Midge, a Harrop CDC Hanging Midge, a Buzz's CDC Midge, a Harrop CDC Emerging Midge or a Harrop Gray Adult Midge all in sizes 20 to 22. A great pattern to trail off any of these is Gary's Midge Pupa, a WD-40, a Miracle Nymph or a Zebra Midge all in sizes 18 to 22.
The Nymph fishing has been pretty good. There are various Mayfly nymphs available to the fish along with Midge Larva and Pupa, Scuds, Sow Bugs and Caddis Larva and Pupa. Midge Larva and Midge Pupa patterns, Sawyer Pheasant Tails, Scuds, Sow Bugs, Caddis Larva and Caddis Pupa and WD-40's have all been very effective.
Most of the flies suggested above are locally tied and have been developed especially for the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks by the Spring Creek Specialists Fly Shop.
We now have over 500 patterns just for the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, including 54 patterns by Rene Harrop.
