July 19, 2010 Evening Showers Bring Great hatches!
Submitted by paul on Mon, 07/19/2010 - 11:08If you like fishing the famous Green Drake Hatches of the Elk River then you should get down here fast. This weeks forecast calls for warm weather with a chance of afternoon showers. This is perfect Green Drake weather and also great Drift Boat fishing weather.

July. 16 - I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life.

The Elk River is in shape and as always those inside corners look delicious....
Gravel Bars dropping off into buckets of dancing water. mmmmm hot!
The upper stretches are still flowing pretty quick, but fishing is productive. No new big ol snags or log jams to report, just the same old "be carful and row away from the danger". The Elk River isn't a mighty river to worry about in terms of high class ratings, BUT every year the river claims someone. If you are unsure of what to be careful of and what to watch out for on any of the floats, stop by the shop; we are more than happy to give you updates and advice.
