Daily Catch Fishing Report 06-12-06
Good Morning,
Fishing weather is fine on this Monday morning. Here's Almont Anglers updated reports to start your fishing week off right:
East River - Temperatures were warmer the past week and the river is rising. Weekend flows at Almont were around 1,280 cfs. Fish with streamers having some flash in them or larger stonefly nymphs with a bead or two in the body. Afternoon flows drop a little, visibility may increase to 12 inches and trout can be taken on dry caddis or stoneflies. The hatchery ponds are fishing well with midge emergers, and the kids can use bait there.
Gunnison River (Upper from Almont to Blue Mesa) - Flows this week were as low as 1,700 cfs, but warmer temperatures are raising levels again (2,020 last weekend). Streamers and spinners have been catching a good number of trout when cast very close to the bank from a raft or dory. You will lose a few lures and flies to catch a few fish. Gold lures 3/16- to ¼-ounce should work well. Different color streamers work well on different days. Try white, olive, black or brown with a cone head. Some fish have also been caught on No. 4-10 stonefly nymphs weighted to bounce along the bottom.
Taylor River - Flows out of the dam were increased to 275 cfs last week and were around 560 cfs at Almont. Fish are still holding close to the banks, in eddies and the deeper holes. A few more mayflies have appeared - pale morning duns, blue-winged-olives and March browns, all in sizes 16-18. Most fish are still being caught under the surface with stonefly patterns, No. 6-12; green drake nymphs, 12-14; caddis pupae, Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns and Hare’s Ears, all in sizes 10-16. Streamers are still producing well.

Fish-on!
