The generation schedule on the Little Red has been fairly predictable over the last few weeks, with water releases typically starting in the afternoon around 1 PM and continuing until about 6 to 8 PM, Monday through Friday. This past weekend saw no water releases, which has kept the bite steady.


For the best fishing, hit the river in the morning when the water from the previous day's release is still falling. Fish are holding strong in the deeper waters along the moss beds, especially as the water drops and daytime temperatures rise. These moss beds provide a great cover from the sun, making them a prime spot for trout.


As for what’s working, the hot flies right now are pheasant tail soft hackle nymphs, Guide's Choice Hares Ear, and Rootbeer Midges. The fish are also active in the shoals or any areas with moving water, so those spots are worth a cast or two.
