Fished Coburn Tuesday June 26 and found the North side of the stream below the junction pool to be very dirty, seems as if Donnie Beaver secured a permit to do extensive stream improvement on both Elk and Pine Creeks! I must say the work in progress looks great and will only help to improve the overall trout habitat in that area.
Iso's and Olives were emerging and the trout were eating Iso nymphs, nothing large but very nice brown's. This area seems to have trout that as I said before fight very hard and will not give up and come to the net. Not sure about a large olive spinner fall at night due to the strong wind that was blowing all day long. Air temp was 73 and the water was still in the low 60's not bad for the end of June. The cold nights really help to keep the water cool and the lush stream side vegetation helps. I have been at it again with my planting of yellow water Iris, I'll keep it up as long as there are some mud banks to plant in.
Now will the perfect opportunity to get your small pack of Terrestrials out and have a great day pounding the shore and shallow riffles with a size 10 or 12 black beetle!
