Hatch Status

Brown Drakes will fire soon after May 23 opening. Stock up on Brown Drakes now as flies will go fast once hatch fires.

Conditions

Silver Creek's public sections open Saturday, May 23, with technical water anglers finding good opportunity in open stretches. PMDs are the dominant hatch, running a size or two larger than nearby Owyhee offerings, with BWOs, Baetis, and terrestrials also present, and Brown Drakes expected soon. Water temperatures are climbing into the upper 60s, so consider fishing dawn and early evening while skipping midday to keep stress on fish to a minimum.
