The Silver Creek Preserve and Double R sections of Silver Creek close on December 1st of each year. It's the final week to fish these pieces of water and with relatively warm temps it's been really good (it did snow about 1" today though).

A Rainy Day On Silver Creek
The rain and sometimes wind never really seemed to stop long enough for the bugs to get going for real yesterday. There were a few moments here and there though when the rain was light enough to allow callibaetis and baetis to actually get off the water without being pummeled by rain drops. During those momemts in the late afternoon there were a few risers...

Birthday Brown
Charlie Price and a nice birthday brown on Silver Creek. It's a tradition of mine to put aside guiding and whatever else to spend a day with each of my two sons on their respective birthdays.

Seconds after the release, a brown trout moves back to the far bank to potentially sulk for a bit and then go back into hunting mode. Silver Creek, Idaho.
Silver Creek Brown Trout
Below are two Silver Creek browns caught today by two brothers. While the fishing was not exactly great the catching was pretty good as the images below may suggest...
Harrison Kapp all grins after landing this brown.

Silver Creek Brown
Cooler weather and plenty of wind and a lack of crowds can create opportunity... Below is a Brown Trout caught on Silver Creek today.

Streamers, Storm & Silver Creek
We are in the middle of a relatively warm and super wet storm here. Above 7,000 feet we are expected to get around four feet of snow. Below about 5,700 feet it's been all rain so far and down around Picabo today there was heavy rain for a short period and broken stormy skies for the remainder. Below are images shot today on Silver Creek. It's streamer time down there. Cloudy days are usually better. Today was just OK but the wild skies and weather made up for it. We spent about two hours on the water.
