The Bridgeport trout tournament turned out a few fish on the river for the anglers competing last weekend. It took a little while for the fish to get on the bite in the morning, as the temperatures were down right freezing, but fish were starting to show as it warmed up. Flows are currently holding at 39 cfs as of this report, and fishing has been pretty steady. There is a link to the stream flows on the top of this page. Streamers fished under a sink tip line are a good choice in the deeper holes and runs, and midges, hare's ears, wd-50's, and pheasant tails should all get you into fish. If the water is a little off color, go with a flashback pattern on either or both of your flies. A Sierra Drifters Punk Perch/nymph combo fished under an indicator can also be a hit.
