Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

Conditions are already changing to more of a post runoff state. This is generally the slowest part of the season. Fishing is usually slow until later in the month but right now the crowds are gone, and the fishing is good enough to be worthwhile. True to form it's a day-to-day thing, one day good the next day tough. We are starting to see a few more Tricos, 6-8 for the female emergence and 9-10 for the spinner fall. Also, early midges and some bigger caddis with a mixture of small (BWO) and larger mayflies (PMD's) with caddis midday and then caddis and midges in the afternoon. The mayflies are really fading out and surface activity is slowing way down. The resident fish have been keying into the mayflies and midges, so we suggest trailing a midge (#18-24) or mayfly (#16-22) behind an attractor nymph.
