How's the Fishing?: 3/5
Rock Creek has been good lately. Still not much to write home about for dry fly fishing, but the nymphing and streamer fishing has been really good recently.
The cold weather this week has slowed the fishing down a bit, but it's still been good during the afternoon.
We're still waiting for the main Skwala hatch, but there have been Nemouras and Capnias hatching.
The warm weather next week should improve fishing. Focus your time on slower walking speed water this week with nymphs and streamers.
What Hatches are Going?
Nemoura, Capnia, Skwala, BWO, March Brown
What's the weather like?
How's it going to be in a couple weeks?
Fishing on Rock Creek should really pick up in the coming weeks. So far this March it's been mostly a subsurface game, but dry fly fishing should pick up as the weather warms up.
