The big Cutthroats have headed back to Crowley after their May spawning run so now it’s pretty much dry fly fishing for mostly smaller Browns with Caddis and Mayfly patterns. The last two years some bigger Browns have come up in July so we’ll stick with those dry flies and also streamers stripped upstream along the cut banks. We’re hoping for a good hopper season drawing up some bigger Browns this late July into September casting Hoppers, Foam Ants, and Stoneflies. Regardless of how the hopper season pans out this is a good time of year to fish those patterns.



Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
