Canyon Creek
Tip of the week:
Techniques:
Small stream tactics rule, make the first cast into each pool count. Limit false casting, start at the bottom of a section and work your way to the top. Place casts slightly above likely holding spots and be ready for an immediate eat. In the winter and early spring during high flows, utilize an indicator, split shot and multiple flies and the whole river is fishable. During low water focus on particular spots and try and spot fish before casting.
