The Period between "Prime-Time" and the "Second Season" of Fall. The waters are low and warm, most aquatic hatches are over and the trout await cooler flows and remaining bugs to appear on the menu. Fly anglers hope for strong "hopper winds" or probe deep with big food items.
An E-Note Quickie from today:
"We are in "Tweener-Time" or "Dog Days"....warm water on the BT
"We are in "Tweener-Time" or "Dog Days"....warm water on the BT
(early morning only), low water on the LT with no
hatches and
and really spooky fish. I actually refused a trip from a
beginner today
because he wanted to go out and catch fish...no way.
I'd suggest you visit the NF of the Yuba from
Downieville upstream to
Bassetts. No on Greagle area because that is the MF
of the Feather;
which is entirely too warm and low this time of
year."
That's why most experienced fishermen carry a thermometer unless, of course, we have you to check ahead of time.
