Warm, sunny weather is back.  The current low 90s will be moving into the upper 90s by this weekend and into next week.  No chances of rain in the near future.

We continue to see off generation until 6:00 a.m. when they turn on one unit.  Around noon it is bumped up to two units.  Then three units the next hour.  Looks like that is tomorrow’s forecast also.

Laura – 8/267/26

Carolyn had a fun day on the water Wednesday with Laura from Texas.  She is pretty new to fly fishing so we spent a couple hours working on all the casts.  Learned a new knot and a little about leaders and tippet.  With that done, into the water with a black copperhead midge and her fish was a nice rainbow

Gorgeous day today.  Temperatures in the mid 80s with lots of sunshine and just a little wind.  Expect mid 80s again tomorrow and then low 90s into the weekend!  Other than Monday where they are forecasting rain in the morning, the rest of the week will be lots of sunshine!

Generation flow the past two days has been a very low one unit until late into the afternoon.  Wonderful for wading!  Projected again for tomorrow.  Not sure what Tuesday holds yet.

Fishing has been good.  Not lots of fish, but certainly nice quality fish!

Jay – 8/23/26

Sunday, Jay from Nebraska fished with Dana.  It was a Ruby 2 day all morning.

Still looking at more hot weather.  Chance for rain Monday which will cool it down a little, but right back up into the 90s and possibility of hitting 100 Thursday or Friday.

Not much change in generation pattern.  Off during the early morning hours, then on around 6:00 a.m. with a low one unit running.  By noon, they have cranked on another unit and raising it up during the afternoon to three or four units until late into the evening then they shut it off again for the night.

Good day for Dana Wednesday with Rick from Illinois.  Low generation that day so they stayed high and caught fish on the Ruby 2 and black copperhead midges!

Don’t forget ladies.  Women’s fly fishing clinic September 5.

We continue to see temperatures in the upper 90s.  No relief in sight this week.  Right not, next week doesn’t look any better.

They continue to run a low one unit during the morning hours and then bump it up to two or three units around 11:00 a.m. or noon.

With the heat, we are only doing half day trips during the morning hours.

Dana on the water last Saturday with Ashton and Matt from Illinois.  Low unit running so he fished the upper area.  Ruby 2 was their bug for the trip.

Sunday, Jim had Zach from Texas on the water.  Black thorax midge and Ruby 2 were the ticket.  Zach pretty new to fly fishing so they caught fish and worked on rod and line work.

Mid 90s today with chances of rain tonight.  Friday looks about the same.  After that, we will see mid to upper 90s through mid next week when it will drop to low 90s and upper 80s.

They continue to have the water off until 6:00 a.m. then they fire up a low one unit.  Around 2:00 p.m. they then put on two, sometimes, three units.

Weather warming up again.  Looks like 100s through Tuesday, then 90s for three to four days and upper 80s through the weekend into early next week.  Ugh!

Have had some no generation during the early morning hours.  Around 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. they open up a low one unit for several hours, if not all day.  Over the weekend, they turned on more units around 2:00 p.m.  Some wading time during the morning hours until two units come on!

Fishing has been and down.  One day you’ll go out there and catch a lot of fish and the next day you’ll wonder where there are!  We are seeing more larger fish than normal and that’s good!

Weather in a word – HOT!  Looks like we will have a few more days in the 90s then into the upper 80s.  Slight chances of rain showing at this time by Saturday.

Brad – 6/30/26

Landon on the water last Tuesday with Bradley from Raymore.  Very good day for them on the Ruby 2, big ruby and Peachy King San Juan worm.  Little foggy when they went out so the bite was slow.  Once the fog lifted, the bite was on.

Evan and Stephen, two brand new fly fishers were out with Landon Saturday.  Worked on casting and the various presentation methods.  Picked up casting pretty quick and caught fish on the Ruby 2 midge, a #16 gray scud and the red San Juan worm.  Jim’s couple was also new to fly fishing.  Did some instructional work and pretty soon, Japheth and Aner were catching on a scuplin bugger.

Hot days!  Temperatures in the 90s into the weekend.  Very slight chances of rain Sunday.

Still trying to get rid of all the rain we have had.  Table Rock is just about back to power pool, but Beaver and Bull Shoals are still a few feet above their power pools.  So, we are generating water every day.
