Weatherby's's Tip of the Week
Smoke cigars, sip bourbon. Always a good idea. Flows are good and fishable. Share the water. Be nice. It's a busy place.

Weatherby’s Lodge5-Day Outlook as of 7/7/25
Salmon bit well this morning with lower flows. Now Woodland Pulp is dumping water and making it difficult to wade and fish. Hopefully only lasting a couple of days. Questions about flows in Grand Lake Stream contact Steve Strout at Woodland Pulp, LLC at (207) 427-3311.
Techniques & Tips as of 7/7/25
floating lines with caddis or mayfly imitations. BWO, Goddard caddis, elk hair caddis, caddis emergers. Nymphing very effective in between hatches. Hot head nymphs are working well
