Miracle Mile Fishing Report

The flows on the Miracle Mile have still been quite steady and the fishing has been solid. These higher flows on this section create more pockets for the fish to sit in and different areas to check out. Try fishing all the good looking water, even the smaller pockets close to the edge of the river. If you are headed to this section of the platte soon, keep an eye on the weather and rain. Rainy days can make the roads around the mile very muddy so be prepared. Be safe out there!

If you're headed to the mile soon, be sure to have some golden stoneflies with you. The hatch can vary depending on the day, but the fish will key in on them. Other big bugs to try on a nymph rig right now include leeches and worms. The main hatches besides the stoneflies have been PMDs and some yellow sallies. Be sure to have a variety of different nymphs when heading up the mile to imitate the variety of bugs hatching. When nymphing, adjust your rig depth accordingly and make sure your touching the bottom every now and again.

Streamer fishing is always a good choice at the Mile. Be sure to run a full sink line or a heavy sink tip to get down and work your streamer effectively with the higher flows.
