Good evening everyone!

Chilly start to this morning in the valley, temps in the mid-30’s overnight, with a good frost covering the grass and the tips of the willows! Flows have been pretty erratic, going from the low 300’s, upwards to 500 this morning! We’ve got 488 in the canyon and 475 in Trumbull. With the second bump in flow in just three days, we’ve seen substantial moss, but it’s not as bad as it was earlier in the week. I haven’t been fishing much today, went out just a few moments ago, but no luck as I was a little early on the evening hatch, but didn’t feel like switching over to a nymph rig! The fishing that I have done in the last two days has been so-so!  From what I’ve noticed, the fish are still staying deep, but will take that perfectly presented dry if offered! Keeping with the dry-dropper theme, the evenings towards dark have been most productive for me. I’ve also had more success with a variety of bugs this time of night, tying on single dry’s such as a Parachute Adams or a BWO. Once it really gets dark, the fish seem to be rather aggressive on the streamers, such as a green or black Wooley-Bugger.  It’s looking like another spectacular day up here tomorrow, so come on up and try your luck! Looking to spend a few days here in Decker’s/Trumbull? Please take a look at http://www.southplatterivercabins.com. Flies and Lies also has cabins for rent, visit them at http://www.flies-n-lies.com. That’s all for now folks! Got a small fishing party put together for the morning, pictures to come! Have a great evening and I’ll see you on the river!
