Daily Catch Fishing Report 06-05-06
Good Morning,
Here are updated reports from Almont Anglers:
East River - The East is starting to fall(1,290 cfs over the weekend) and probably has seen its seasonal peak flows. Rivers still see a bit of a daily rise-and-fall cycle, with the lowest and clearest water in the late afternoon into the evening, making for the best fishing time. Good hatches of caddis and stoneflies occur from midday on. The most productive strategies are nymphing with large stoneflies trailed by basic nymphs, and streamers. The streams around the hatchery ponds and the ponds themselves are fishing well on midges. Call Almont Anglers at (970)641-7404 or stop by for the latest report because conditions and the weather change daily.
Gunnison River (Upper from Almont to Blue Mesa) - Flows are begining to drop(2,140 cfs last weekend) and probably have peaked, so look for things to start getting really good. Drakes are just around the corner, and caddis and stoneflies are happening now. The best water conditions are in the afternoon, so focus on that time frame. The best bet in these conditions is still a streamer rig in black, brown, olive or white. Work the banks and slower eddies, preferably from a boat because wading can be tricky with the poor visibility. Spin-fishermen should use heavier rigs and work the bottom.

Thanks to Almont Anglers for the reports. Enjoy the sunshine this morning.
Fish-on!
