Last minute advice on CL/CR???

fished the river all last weekend, fishing was slow in the am, but picked up in the afternoons. I fished a fly rod and got all my takes on yellow egg patterns and prince nymphs. My brother and friend used spinning tackle and took all their trout on powerbait and roostertails, found all our fish in shallow fast water. no current, no trout is what we found. hope this helps.

Thanks for the report! The yellow glow bug is a staple of mine up there during this time of year....they love them! Were you guys fishing the dam? Sounds like the usual for this time of year w/the low flow....find some moving water, and BINGO! Thanks again!

p.s. How was the water clarity?

No, we didn't make it up there. I wanted too, but they wanted to do a float so we went from Helms down to Winfrey's. Long day, but we caught fish so I can't complain. I fished Ray Mann Road Saturday morning for a bit but didn't do much, tried Helm's and it was thin, same with Crocus Creek. The place with the most fish seems to be that gravel bar area floating down stream from the dam in between Ray Mann Road and Helm's. We hit that last Tuesday and caught a bunch of fish, all on eggs. I had one break me off and as we floated down I saw him in the water with my egg in the side of his mouth (had to be at least a 6 or 7 pound fish) of all the places between the Dam and Winfrey's that gravel bar had the most fish, but it will be packed with fisherman this weekend so if you can get there, get there early and claim your spot. Hope this helps, good luck down there.

oh, forgot, the water stained but not to the point of dirty, you can see a few feet down
