Buzz's Spring Creek Fishing Report November 3, 2022
The Browns are spawning. Please leave them alone and let them get the job done.
Fishing on the Creeks is good with good dry fly action. On calm days we are
seeing fair Midges in the mornings and evenings with fair to good Baetis in the
early afternoons.
We are getting some Midge hatches in the mornings and again in the evening.
Midge larva patterns are always a good thing to use. We like the following
patterns: a Black Beauty, a Red or Black Zebra Midge, a Miracle Nymph, or an
Olive, White or Black Midge Larva. All of these patterns in an 18 or 20. My
favorite Dry Midge Pattern is a Mole Midge in a size 22. Most of the time what
looks like a rise to a midging fish, the fish is actually feeding on midge pupa
just below the surface. The Mole Midge hangs in the film and the fish takes it
for the pupa.
There are fair to good l hatches from late morning on into the early
afternoons.These hatches depend on the weather. On cloudy bad weather days the
hatches are good and on bright sunny days we get just fair hatches. My favorite
patterns have been a Baetis Mole Fly, a CDC Baetis Comparadun, a Max’s Baetis
Dun or a Harrop Biot Baetis Emerger.. Either a 20 or 22 in any of these patterns
will work.
We are also seeing some fair Baetis Spinner falls occurring in the late mornings
into the early afternoons. These spinner falls often occur at the same time as
the hatch. My favorite patterns are a CDC Baetis spinner, a Rusty Spinner, a
Harrop Baetis Para Spinner or our Olive Hackle Wing Spinner, all of these in a
20 or 22.
We now have over 500 patterns just for the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks,
including 75 patterns by Rene Harrop.
