The Spring Creeks in Paradise Valley have been fishing well over the past week or so. Hatches currently consist mostly of midges and baetis, especially on the cloudy days. The nymphing has been most productive while the dry fly fishing has been spotty at best, but much better on the calm overcast days. Dry fly fishing should pick up as we start to see Caddis, hopefully next week.

The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are pretty booked up this summer, but if you're lucky enough to have one of those days on your schedule, the fishing has been consistently good. On the sunny days, small nymphs are going to be your ticket to success, but any cloud cover can result in some spectacular fishing this time of year.

The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are a great option this time of year. With many of the area rivers approaching (or fully in) runoff mode, the consistent flows and temperatures of the Spring Creeks provide excellent opportunities. Dry-fly action has been hit-or-miss depending on cloud cover, so be prepared to use small nymphs when the sun is shining.

The Spring Creeks are always a reliable option this time of year. Both Armstrong and DePuy's are reliably producing fish on small midge patterns, as well as BWOs on the overcast days. Trying some caddis patterns right now should also get fish interested in looking up.
