Fish nymphs using an indicator at least 2 ft. deep and sometime deeper in the faster water. Also use light tippet such as 6X , you will land more trout on days when the trout are hitting slow. The tailrace is pressured big time so one needs to use light tippet and change flies often when nothing is happening.

Suggestion, never fish a pattern on the Sipsey longer than 15 minutes if nothing is happening. In other words change patterns often on slow days.

The weather was great but I only caught 2 rainbows. I used a zebra midge and sow bug for the most part. Used a stimulator and zebra dropper at the end of the day. I fished just up from the pump house and was unable to unlock the mystery of the river and catch fish the way I should. I will be back with a few new tricks up my sleeve. Any tips would be much appreciated.

I enjoyed it, stopped by the fly shop on the way. There was a learning curve for me, threw everything in the fly box, caught only three rainbows. Talked to a fella in the parking lot at the pump house at the end of the day and it seems a elk hair caddie with a midge dropper is the ticket (information I could've used 6 hours earlier, but what fun would that be? ) nice runs and pools past the pump house but the trout seemed to be picky. I will come back, nothing like getting beat by a river to spark a primeval need to solve the mystery of a river...Nateshoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546791378414330610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-27693378717986939492015-12-17T23:22:21.610-05:002015-12-17T23:22:21.610-05:00I have to give you and some of our blogging friend...I have to give you and some of our blogging friends credit for even getting out.
