Elk 5/1/22

Hit the Elk for an upstream paddle to Generals Island and float back to Hurdlow. Caught a few browns, all under 20”, and rainbows. All caught on small gold willow leaf spinner with Tellico nymph. Fish hit great from 4 until 6 when heavy rain and hail moved through. Water clear, 240 CFS. Discharge from water cress farms did not have strong oder of last year. Only met 1 other fishermen in 4 hours. Better hurry and fish and enjoy the peace and quite before the party people show up.

Thanks for the report. Good to see people are actually enjoying the fishery.

It’s nice and quite during the weekdays but once the schools are out the hatch will come.

That 240 cfs has sure helped that river. Wish they would do that elsewhere

[oldmanelrod]

Yes sir. 240 CFS works well on the Elk.
