November brought with it clear, high skies and above normal temperatures. Couple that with low water and you get tough fishing conditions.

All was well though on the North Fork. The fish were holding tight to the deep, heavy riffles through the majority of the month, venturing out as the sun fell in the sky.

During the day stonefly nymph patterns such as RW's latex, Kaufmans, rubber legs and prince nymphs in sizes 6-14 fished near the bottom would peak their interest. Egg patterns, either fished alone or as a dropper worked well, also.

 

As the sun was setting, sporadic hatches of blue-winged olives (pseudo) sizes 22-26, large white caddis, sizes 12-16, and the occasional sulpher kept the die-hard dry fly fisherman entertained. These were fished in either the adult or emergent state equally effectively. Soft hackles fished on the swing were also catching fish.

December promises more rain and the fishing should continue to improve as the Rainbows gear up for the spawn.

Great Trout Fishing!!!!!!
