Hunting & Fishing Fall Fly Fishing

[chavezz556]

Been staying away from the range to fish the Coeur dalene and St.Joe river... Anyone else hit up the September dry fly fishing?

I have had success with sculpin streamers... Mahogany duns and just about any type of Caddis!
Here are a few from the last couple weeks..

Sweet! Frying pan is in Utah right?

 

[Rlovato]

I belive it is in utah as well this was in colorado below stagecoach res. We are planning a trip to fish the arkansas river again in colorado.

Nice pics!
I'm trying to plan a ten day trip in western Wyoming and attempt the Cutt Slam challenge, Sept 2019, catch and document all five sub species in their native habitat in a single season.

By far my favorite place to fish right there!

Very nice,
I managed to catch a few Grayling outside my tent in elk camp last weekend.

 

[Rlovato]

You catch that on a caddis?

 

[Wyfox]

Yes, little elk hair caddis

Badass! Are you floating or wading?

Since it's on the other side of the state, I think we'll drive first then float, wade and shore fish. We may have as many as four on the trip. Initial planning, I'm thinking we'll fish evenings and following mornings then pack-up camp and change locations mid-day. This so we can cover all the required habitat areas for each of the sub species. Depending on long term weather forecasts, we can choose to start from the north or south. I've only tried dry flies up to this point but I will practice with streamers before we go. These Wyoming stream trout have a voracious appetite for leaches and crayfish. With my spinning rod, I've always been able to pull out fish on lures that resembled these.

Love those Scott Rods. Have several G & S Series but my favorite is still the Eclipse which hasn't been made in years.

I have been destroying the Cutty's on a pattern called a Mr. Creepo... It has the best action out of any sculpin pattern I have ever used... Used that with an intermediate sink line from rio on the swing has been crushing them

Fall fly fishing to me means tricos, mahoganys, and hecubas,on the surface around missoula montana.
Just pick a river

Thanks for that info! I can see that color phase and pattern working well.

Fall is my favorite time to fly fish

I am headed to the RMNP area the middle of October. I am not a fly fisherman, but I have had good luck with ultralight spinning tackle and a casting bubble. These pictures have me fired up about this trip.

It appears that many fly fishers are 'catch-n-release' types. I am too, unless I'm hungry.

Cuttthroat trout are all catch and release in my area... You can keep the rainbows or cuttbows but they are so far and few between that I like to let them go

 

[Dendro]

Nice catch

These pictures are making me miss living out west.

Nice fish! It’s great when you can find time to go with your kids. My 14 year old and I just came back from salmon fishing in Pulaski NY, we had a blast

Anyone get out on the river lately?

I'm thinking about heading to the Clearwater to give steelhead fishing a shot.

I have a 8 wt. Loop that I'm going to outfit with a OPST short head, I have a switch rod, but it's only a 6wt so not sure it will cut it on the Clearwater
