August 22, 2016 Fishing Report

Good Evening!

Welcome back to my fishing report, courtesy of my good friend Joe, ,who has found a way for me to blog while my site undergoes an update.  Thanks Joe!  The 8/8:30am trico hatch is still producing until about mid-morning, then it’s been mostly nymphing until the evening hours. Underneath, I’ve seen and had  good success with the black two-bit hooker #20-22, chocolate thunder, grey sparkle wing RS-2, and even took a few aggressive browns on my second fly, which was a purple San Juan worm.  On the dry side of things, we’ve seen a multitude of flies pulling fish, from Decker’s through Trumbull.  As I road cycle Platte river road each morning, I’ve been covered in Trico’s from Nighthawk, then all the way upstream to Bridge Crossing.  Later , about 9:30, when I returned to Trumbull, I saw a big hatch Blue-Winged Olives, occurring along the banks. Heading into the evening, we’re catching fish on dry-dropper rigs with a Chernoble, Amy’s Ant, and a  yellow sallie, then trailing  with a variety of  dropper flies, some of which are the #20-26 Parachute Adams, griffiths gnat, and a bwo or pmd. The crowds have thinned since school began and the weather is great! More to come tomorrow with updated flows, clarity and more involved bug report! Have a great evening!
