Fishing-Good: Miles at Trout Creek Outfitters https://www.troutcreekoutfitters.com reports:
The flows along Glenshire have dropped and are sitting at around 100 CFS. This is typical for this time of year, and while still fishable, may be less than ideal for most methods other than dry fly fishing. That said, we have been seeing some noses lately, with the main bugs being midges and BWOs, and we also expect to see some October caddis around any day now. These large fall bugs will provide the last large hatch of the fall and can bring up some of the biggest fish in the river as they attempt to fatten up for the lean months ahead. These adults will also provide a good dry dropper option for those fishing the skinnier water. If fishing down in the canyon, we would recommend starting to focus more on the indicator right now as fish push into slower water. Fishing stoneflies or October caddis pupa for your larger flies and BWOs or midges for your droppers will be best this week. With the drop in temps along the entire system, we are also resuming fishing out east, I.E. east of Sparks. If you haven’t fished this area you’re missing out!
