Portneuf River Report 8/29/2009

Water Carity: fair
Water Temp: unknown, but warm still
Weather: Mostly cloudy 65 degrees.
Time: 9:00-11:00
Bugs: Caddis, small mayflies (not many), grasshoppers.
Not many fish moving this morning on the River but it is beginning to show signs of life. I hooked into one really nice fish and saw a handful of others working. The water quality is getting much better. The banks of the river were swarming with hoppers by 11:00 but fish are still not keying on them. We need some colder nights in order to really start the fish on the hunt. My guess is that due to the nice weather and warm nights that the fish are active at night. I would be interested to fish the Portneuf at night and find out if the big boys more active in the warm months. I expect the quality of the fishing on the river to change dramatically in the next few weeks.
