Submitted by lindab on Mon, 06/10/2013 - 12:32pm

The Golden stones are out on both the warm to ashtone stretch and below the ashton dam so use a goldenstone foam body in about a size 6 and drop off some smaller beadheads like size 12 or 14 use princes pheasent tails with flash or hares ears or caddis larva or copper johns i talked to a guy the other day who caught about five fish on a copper john in about a 16. We have also had sightings of pmds and caddis on the top as well.

The Fork Below the Ashton Dam

It seems the really hot fishing below the Ashton dam is off a week or two. I fished using a caddis and had a couple fish strike and landed a small brown, but my hope was getting into consistent rising, which was not happening. Looking forward to the big mayfly hatches that usually start up in mid June. Even if the fishing is slow there is nothing better than being on the river. Good luck!

The salmon flies are just finishing up in the box so use a salmon fly  as an indicator and drop off either a stonefly nymph or a small copper john or other small bead head.
