Elk River Dryfly Action 7/7/06
The Elk has dropped into prime fishing shape and is fishing beautifully. Early mornings see fish responding to attractor dries like Humpies and PMX peacocks as well as streamers such as Zonkers and Buggers in olive and grey/white. As they day moves along you will see tan caddis in size #16-18 and PMDs in size #18 come off just before lunch. As the PMD’s fade yellow sallies will become the main menu item. In the evening hours look for spinner falls of bugs ranging anywhere from size #12-18. Evening is also when you are most likely to encounter some green drakes. The nymphal forms of all insects listed above will take fish all day and are the best option when the fish aren’t rising. Tight lines!
