From the benchSilver Creek is a sight-fishing game today — polarized glasses are as important as your fly box. With 62.8°F water and gin-clear flows, approach every fish from downstream and keep your profile low; these fish have seen everything. During the PMD hatch, focus on the slow inside bends where fish set up in predictable feeding lanes, and use a 6X or 7X fluorocarbon tippet — anything heavier will cost you strikes. When the terrestrial bite kicks in mid-morning, work the grassy banks on the Nature Conservancy section with a positive splat cast, then hold your breath and wait for the eat.
