Fishing on the Elk has proven to be pretty good as of late! There has been lots of bug life and no shortage of eager fish wanting to come up and take a dry.  Because we are hitting the dog days of summer it's going to be time to get to some of the bread and butterflies that will get the job done.

It's still been slow in the morning (as is the case always with cutty fishing) but as the day carries on the fishing only gets better and better so don't head back to the car too early or you might miss a good evening hatch. As mentioned, the fish are eating almost everything right now! If you are headed out it would be worthwhile to start your day with either an ant or a beetle as a dry but if you want to go subsurface, then we suggest starting with some version of a hot-head or hot-butt nymph. Streamers have been working as well and pretty well anything in that #4-8 range should produce some fish as well. if you want to go for the bullies then throwing the big meat will be the move. They have been destroying the Dali Lama pretty well along with Yo Mama's Lama as well.

The good days of fishing are dwindling so if you have some last vacation days to use, using them to fish the Elk and surrounding waters would not be a bad call.
