Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

by JIM REID
The ranch fished a little tough this week with some nice fish in the 20" range making an appearance but very few of them. The fish we did hear about were being caught on caddis nymphs and small midge patterns. I'd look forward to the weather cooling even more over the next couple weeks and the fishing on both sides of the state line improving.

Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

by JIM REID
The anglers we've had on the ranch this week have done very well for some really nice browns and a few rainbows. There's very little pressure on the ranch lately so this probably adds to the success rate. San juan worms, dark lords and rainbow warriors seem to be the best patterns going lately.

Lake Trout is Slow!

by MICKEY DANIELS
