Yosemite Fly Fishing Report

Rick Mazaira reports on 8.25.2016

Mokelumne- As the days get shorter a trout gather by the Dam. The heat will wear at you but a good early drift.
Upper Moke- It’s all fishing well, dries & dry droppers. Stimulators & Caddis are best.

Stanislaus-
South Fork is doing well. Yellow Sallies, and Hare’s ears.
Middle Fork is great above Twain Hart- look at Herring Creek and the inlet to Lyons!.Kennedy Meadows has a lot of pressure.

Tuolumne-
Middle Fork & South fork are doing very well. Subsurface caddis & midges work well, Caddis, Parachute Adams and Yellow Sallies.

Merced- El Portal is slowing down! Shifts are happening so look to cooler parts of the day and mind water temps. Nymphing is best.

Lower Merced lots of Pike Minnows, Suckers, and when you catch a rainbow with a tracking tag on it know it is a rescue fish and keep it in the water.
