OAK CREEK: January 15th, posted by Jason A friend and I hit lower Oak Creek this weekend. We fished several miles below the Page Springs Hatchery from about 11AM to 1PM. We were using small streamers with nymph droppers. Several blue winged olives (size18) were seen on the water. The water was only slightly murky with visability of about 2.5 feet. I hooked and landed one fish, and my buddy had atleast one strike. We moved to the section of Oak Creek just above Grasshopper Point at about 1PM. When we arrived at a nice pool we immediately saw several fish working the surface. We landed several fish (wild browns) from that pool once we figured out what they were eating. They wouldn't touch a blue winged olive! They were keying in on some black winter stoneflies in about a size 18-20 that were flittering around on the surface. These insects hatch along the margins of creeks in the winter time. The winged females do return to the water after they have mated to lay their eggs, or if they get blown into the water by the wind.
That means dry fly fishing in January!!!! What A Treat!
