AUGUST FLY FISHING SOUTHERN UTAH

FORSYTH RES/ MILLMEADOW RES':
   Forsyth Reservoir was nearly drained in anticipation of work to be done on MillMeadow reservoir down stream from Forsyth,  the fishing is nearly impossible on Forsyth as a result. on the flip side Millmeadow Reservoir has a good volume of water currently, but it has started to drop and will also be drained for repair, both Reservoirs are scheduled to be treated to remove undesired fish and should be stocked again next year, look for the fishing to be fast for smaller trout next year and to be incredible the following couple of years.
There has been some browns caught along the shore line in the evenings with double renegades and pheasant tail nymphs, we have also been doing well with an Andersons rock crawler, lots of fish have been picked up at the inlets still as well.

FREMONT RIVER.
  The Upper Fremont is down to flows from the springs, it is clear and has been fishing fair to really good, hopper patterns fished through the afternoon have worked well as well as caddis in the evenings.  The Bicknell Bottoms has been clear as well and a few nicer fish have been caught with hoppers on the top, expect to work for these fish though.

U.M. Creek.
  this Stream continues to produce well for this week, typically it starts to slow down at this time of year, there have been some hatches of caddis and p.m.d s up there that seems to keep the fish active.
a hopper dropper pattern still has been working well up there.
BOULDER MTN.
Lower Bowns. has still been one of the better waters to fish this week, fishing in the early morning or evening has been best. we are still using an olive or brown bugger from a tube, or using callibaetis imitations from the shore with great results.
The Fish Creek and Beaver Dam area has been the most popular area on the mtn this year, fishing there has slowed some, a few fish are still being caught with baetis imitations.
Donkey has done well this year with the brook trout appearing to be in good condition this year.
there has been a great baetis hatch on this lake between 2 and and 4 pm is when it starts.

THOUSAND LAKE:
  The mtn has been getting a little more pressure, the Fishing remains good though with the hot spot remaining Morrell pond.
