spring creek fishing report

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.

As much of the region heads toward runoff, the Spring Creeks are still a good option. Anglers have been having success with smaller BWO and midge nymphs subsurface, with some decent hatches here and there. If you're up for a challenge and want to avoid the muddy waters elsewhere, head on over to the Spring Creeks.

Right now, the Spring Creeks are fishing pretty consistently, but mainly subsurface. It's a little early for most of the major summer hatches, but watch out for midges and BWOs on overcast days. Some caddis may even pop on warmer evenings. Anglers have been having the most success with BWO and midge nymphs, as well as pink scuds and sowbugs.

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.
