Hatch Status

Chance of a few more Brown Drake duns or spinners in the lower reaches thanks to cooler weather

Conditions

Silver Creek will run low and clear through mid-June, demanding precision and stealth from bank anglers. Brown Drake activity is finishing out while the early summer pattern of PMDs, Baetis, and Callibaetis takes hold. Water temperatures should stay favorable around 67 degrees, and afternoon terrestrial action will reward those with small foam and terrestrial patterns in their boxes. Clear skies and stable flows will keep conditions predictable—the key is matching the hatch carefully and fishing small.
