I fished the 'Dream Stream' twice this past week and did fairly well. The warm weather brought me out. The temperature was up to 58 degrees in South Park. Sure did not feel like winter.
Resident Rainbows and Browns were taking midges mainly below the surface. Best flies were small RS2's, Orange Desert Storms, and red midges. The fish seem to be feeding on and off by the so called "switch." The fish would just turn on and off through out the day.. Caught some nice fish up to 21 inches.
I think the relative good fishing is due to mainly one factor. Less pressure. Not many people are out there hammering them yet. When the bulk of the migratory fish come up from 11 mile, the crowds will arrive. Crowds are already appearing down low so try the upper section. Given the relative cold water conditions (41 degrees) the fish are quite responsive. Look for good size fish in the slower deeper runs. The fish seem to still be in winter mode.
