Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

Pretty much wide open is the report after the flow stabilizes each time they change it, but tough right after the changes.It seems like a broken record,but the fish report just doesn't change much. Early in the day midges,mid to late morning the baetis start appearing and about 11-12 the baetis hatch gets going full swing.This hatch will keep going til late afternoon but the feeding frenzy will start slowing down around 2.

More Stone Flies showing up at the lower end of the Miracle Mile and into NV.The hatgh on the Ca. side seems to be tapering of while the Nv. side still going strong.

Recommended Flies:

Zebra and Frostbite Midges #20-#26, WD-40's #20-#24,micro may and flashback Barr's emergers #20,22. Golden Stone #6-#10 and Stimulators #10 (Towards NV), CDC BWO #20, Para-Adams #20-#22. Add big, #14 PT's to the list.
