Fly Fishing Stream Conditions Report: French Creek

This year: French Creek has been running high recently, with flows around 131 CFS and muddy clarity. Water temperatures were observed at 67 degrees. This is above the monthly average of 62 CFS, which has ranged from 35 to 111 CFS, with an average water temperature of 69 degrees. The higher flows present a challenging but rewarding fishing experience, and trout are still being landed. Anglers have found success by tight lining through riffles and deep pools, focusing on areas where fish can find some respite from the stronger currents. Key patterns to consider include a Caddis Pupa Nymph and a Fur Ant dropper. Keep an eye out for Caddis activity, as these insects are a primary food source for the trout.
