Skwalapalooza Starting!
The Skwala hatch has been delayed a bit this year due to cold water temps… Seems like the hatch is about a week or 2 behind… The lower river below Hamilton is your best bet to find adult Skwala’s emerging and hungry trout rising… The big bugs haven’t made much of a showing on the upper river yet but that should change this week. The river is in great shape and with mild temps and no rain forecast for the foreseeable future, I am expecting the best dry fly fishing of the season to start as we enter April. Other hatches on the river are the smaller dark stones (Capnia, Nemoura) I have yet to see any of the spring may flies but they should come on in about a week. The best dry fly fishing is afternoon as the bugs get moving, if you are out before that try dropping a skwala nymph 18″ below your dry. See ya on the river………
