First River Report of the 2026 Season

 The fishing season is now underway, and there are definitely opportunities out there.

The river is still running a bit high and carries some colour, but conditions are gradually improving. Over the last few days, I have observed rising fish and periods with a fair amount of insect activity.

I was out fishing yesterday (02.06), and saw a modest hatch of Baetis rhodani, along with some midges and other terrestrial insects on the water. Fish were caught both on nymphs and dry flies, which is always encouraging this early in the season.

Things are starting to happen, so now is the time to dust off your fishing gear and i will see you by the river.
