Nov.14 & 15, 2016 Decker’s Fishing Report
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”100″ gal_title=”Nov.15 flow drop from 65 to 51 cfs bens big ass bow”]
Greetings my friends!
Just when you think you’ve seen the river at it’s lowest, we’ve seen a decrease in the flows in the last 24 hours. Right now we’ve got 51 (cfs) below the dam, maybe about 57 through Decker’s/Trumbull. The USGS station in Trumbull is reporting 82, but let me tell you my friends, I live about 200 yards downstream from this station, and I can tell you right now, it’s not 82! Today’s picture gallery will highlight the areas around the Decker’s bridge, up the Y-camp road, and towards the Lone Rock Campground. I tried to shoot some of the popular areas to show you the lower flows, hope you recognize the spots I photographed along the river. It’s looking like we’ve got one more day of warm temperatures before the cold front arrives on Thursday, giving us our first real chance at some snow! As we are still in the fall spawn of the brown trout, be aware of paired up fish and stay clear. We’re still seeing the Blue-wings coming off around 11am and throughout the day, but the nymphing technique still proves to be more productive. I say this, even after my buddy Ben caught one of the biggest rainbow’s I’ve seen caught in three years on a parachute adams. It’s in today’s picture gallery as well! When I have been nymphing, I’ve been throwing a three-fly pattern with an egg or worm, followed with an attracting nymph, and trailing with a smaller midge. Most of the fish that I have caught nymphing have been in the shallower, faster moving water, but I have taken a few fish with this rig by site fishing for feeding fish in slower moving water. If you’re up for covering lots of water and wanting to cover some ground, try your luck on a streamer, my favorite is the Olive Wooley-Bugger.
