Info on a couple of rivers.

[morty]

Well I finally got a few days off from the boss and the other boss. I was wondering if anyone had any info on CC or the Strawberry River. Any help is appreciated.

Not sure if this is the info you wanted or if it will help. I've fished the lower Strawberry coming out of the Starvation side one time, last year, about this same time of year. Did very well with caddis flies right at dusk. Just when it was getting almost too dark to see it seemed like I could get a rise almost every cast.

When you are done, check yourself for ticks, I saw quite a few of them while fishing that night.

Hit 'er on Friday the 23rd.

Fished the LP first from 8am-noon. Did well down there with caddis on the edges. Switched to the hopper-dropper and that worked ok too.

Then rallied up to CC. It sucked!!! Emminent thundershowers never developed, but the monsoon flow has been good to the southslope streams. The flow on the bottomhalf under the farmland and beaversilt was chocolatte. I saw several families of goo-rodders sportin tackle boxes and cheapo lawn chairs down low. I drove up above the farm and into the ForestServiceLand, and was careful not to get sucked into the TouristTrapBeaverPondBottomSwampFromHellSector. I drove on up past the campgrounds with the dam in site, so as to fish the prettier, less swampy canyon-y sector.

Anywho, it sucked (I sucked!?!?) The water was kinda low, and a bit chalky, but it certainly looked do-able. I tossed hopper/droppers, Adams, humpy, and Coachmen and ended up landin' one 8inch cutt. I didn't see many fish, and was wonderin' "what the hell?"

Below the dam seems to get quite a bit of pressure (relatively). From what I could tell, the fish are less active during the day and are easily spooked. But, if you can hit a hatch in the late evening you should get some nice action.
