FORECASTED FISHING CONDITIONS:

Week of June 9 (DRFI 3.5):  We expect some pretty decent fishing conditions this coming week with a some showers starting the week that will keep us guessing.  The flow of the Diable River is starting out the week just above 10 m3/sec which greatly improves its wadeability compared to recent weeks.  We are observing spotty hatches of stoneflies and the occasional mays but nothing significant as of yet despite what has been a late start to our caddis hatch.  New year baitfish activity is also increasing. The waters are clear, cool and the fishies are happy.   Action on stillwater lakes has been subdued the past week under smokey conditions!!.          
          _________________________ 

Week of June 1 (DRFI 2.0):  If the dryer and warmer weather forecast holds for the coming week we could experience continued improved stream and river conditions.  The Diable River is starting out the week around 20 m3/sec and expected to drop slightly as the week progresses.  This will open up more close to bank wading opportunities as the week progresses.  Insect and baitfish activity is increasing with the better weather and much improved foliage. Streamer presentations remain a good option,  drifting them along the deeper and slower areas of current.  Stillwater lakes in the region are offering good trout action under warming water conditions.  Look for improved hatches and baitfish activity as the week progresses.

Week of May 25 (DRFI 1.5):  If the dryer and warmer weather forecast holds for the coming week we could experience improved stream and river conditions.  The Diable River is starting out the week around 30 m3/sec and expected to drop somewhat as the week progresses.  This will open up some close to bank wading opportunities for the first time this season.  Insect and baitfish activity should increase with the better weather and much improved foliage. Bankside streamer presentations remain your best options drifting them along the deeper and slower areas of current.  Stillwater lakes in the region will offer improved trout action under warming water conditions.  Look for improved hatches and baitfish activity as the week progresses.

News and things

OUR WATERS

 

The DIABLE RIVER is a fairly wide mountain-fed freestone river with a expansive watershed which makes it very responsive to precipitations. During early spring in April and May, water levels can be at flood levels or very high depending on ice and snow melt as well as springtime precipitations. Water temperatures can also be less than optimal for trout this time of year and afternoons on sunny days present the best fishing opportunities. The months June and July offer some of the best water conditions with optimal temperatures and levels throughout the day. Prolonged precipitations do however affect conditions during this period. As water levels drop to their lowest levels in August and September, the features of the Diable river become much better defined and the slower pace of the currents offer the best dry fly opportunities of the year. Early mornings and evenings are the best fishing times but some good surprises are always in store outside these periods. The fishing season on the Diable extends to the end of November for bass and pike with trout on a catch and release only basis from mid-September.

The DIABLE RIVER FLY FISHING ONLY SECTOR consists mainly of long stretches of pocket water, at times deep, with scattered but poorly defined pools. Streamers and nymphs are recommended for the most part with good dry fly opportunities after July. Caddis flies are abundant throughout the season with the most prolific hatches occurring in early June. There is also a good population of stoneflies with the best hatches occurring at the end of June. Mayflies are not in large abundance on the Diable, in terms of numbers and variety. Hatches are limited in size and duration with imitation or attractor patterns being the most consistent performers.

STREAMS AND TRIBUTARIES of the Diable watershed offer good spring-time fishing opportunities for brook trout and also for brown trout. Depending on the amount of precipitation during the season, these can offer good fishing throughout the season.

STILLWATER lakes provide good early season fishing opportunities for surface action on brook and rainbow trout, lake trout and also landlocked salmon on selected lakes. Several area lakes contain good populations of bass, pike, muskie and other sportfish which offers good fishing opportunities during the entire summer months with rising 

temperatures. Most can be taken on a fly. Personal boat access on area lakes is restricted and fishing them may require access fees, the services of a professional guide or use of on-site rentals.

Our proprietary DIABLE RIVER FISHING INDEX (DRFI) complements our fishing condition forecasts to help you better plan your fishing adventure. Factors that determine the DRFI include river flow levels, water temperature, weather forecasts, insect hatches and fish activity.
