The weather has been cooperating with the exception for one day, and fishing slowed up a bit until the DFG truck arrived, as always. We are still getting 350 pounds of trout every week and have not been missed all summer. DFG is formulating their air-stocking into the back country and that obviously will be on my priority list for future fish trips. DFG put in some nice fatties a pound and better. I fished Little Virginia a couple times this past week and did great, but I'm strictly a dry fly addict and can do better than most anglers of other methods in the evening.

Crawlers, baby and big are still the main entrée for this week, but salmon eggs along with power worms are getting hits if they are rigged up right. Lures have slowed down since the Alpers were stocked, but a few Thomas Buoyants red/gold have done ok. Flies for the week were mostly dry, the Green Body Mosquito #16, Grey Hackle Yellow #14, fur or foam body black ants (sit and twitch), or tug some yellow soft hackles or black/olive woollies, dark burgundy or black/grizzly.

Looks like another good week of weather heading our way but you never know at this elevation. A few aspen leaves are already yellow in several places on the Virginia Lakes Road, and watch out for the hunters, archery season started today. See you on the water....carolyn
