Crazy Rainbow Fishing Report 5/2/24
Grey Reef: 5/2/24
Flows- 802 CFS
Fishing Report ~
Fishing on the Reef has been very productive this last few weeks. With rising temperatures hatches are occuring more often so keep an eye out. We have been seeing a ton of activity when it comes to BWO’s. For patterns using olive and BWO coloration flies have been working great. Focus on using Size 18 BWO Mayhem’s, BWO CDC case emergers, BWO bat wings, Black Mayhem’s, darker black and olive baetis patterns. Leeches brown, natural, and black have been working great as well as rockworms in the smaller size ranges.
Miracle Mile: 5/2/24
Flows- 2,000 CFS
Fishing Report ~
Fishing on the mile has been fair and doing good! If you are looking for more quality over quantity as far as fish go the mile is your spot. Very similar patterns and bugs as the Reef are doing well on the mile.
Fremont Canyon: 5/2/24
Flows- 79 CFS
Fishing Report ~
We are hearing positive reports in the Canyon. Flows are at operational levels and fair water clarity! Tan/black leeches have been most productive on the nymph rig. Rock worms are also working well and an assortment of midge patterns. Stick with your BWO color patterns when it comes to bugs. If you are debating on what parts to fish the faster sections of water seem to be fishing the best.
The Big Horn: 5/2/24
Flows- 2,195 CFS
Fishing Report ~
The Big Horn has been fishing well with cleaner water conditions.Streamers are doing well so look at using white/flashy or olive/flashy streamers such as the Rusty Trombone/Articulated Goldie, Laser Legal/Barely Legal patterns. For nymphs look at HH and regular sowbugs, duracell’s, and Midge’s.
