Stream Report for June 9, 2008

STONE MOUNTAIN AND MITCHELL RIVER

Delayed harvest came to an end this past Saturday. Most of the fishing on the Mitchell is pretty much over for awhile. There are always a few wary fish that make it through the masacre but not many. Stone Mountain still will have decent fishing in the wild trout creeks such as widow\'s creek, garden creek and basin creek.

HELTON CREEK

Helton has suffered the same fate that effects all the delayed harvest streams. It will be slow going through the summer. As always there are a few fish left but really not enough to spend a lot of time on.

SMITH RIVER

Being a tailwater, the Smith will fish good through the hotter months and right now it is
time to tie on a beetle and bang the banks with it. The Smith is a great terrestrial stream. Check the generation schedule before you go.


NYMPHS AND STREAMER
psycho prince-olive (16)
rainbow warrior (20)
bh pheasant tail (20)

THE NEW RIVER

The New is still fishing well despite the hot weather. Early and late are the best bets during these hot days. Leggy poppers and baitfish imitation should do the trick and look for shady areas and riffles.

Chart. and White deceivers (1)
Olive and white clousers (2)
Kreel baitfish
frog popper
sneaky pete
