The Fall has been fishing well. A recent stocking has improved the fishing as there are lots of fish in the river. Nymphing is the most consistent approach for catching fish throughout the day. As far as flies go rainbow warriors, two-bits, zebra midges, scuds and pheasant tails are some of our favorites. Dry fly activity has been a bit hit and miss but keep an eye out for caddis and PMD’s and don’t overlook a dry-dropper setup on the fall with a terrestrial up top. Swinging streamers around some of the downed timber is another way to try and fool some larger more aggressive fish. 

Suggested Dries: March Brown #12-14, Purple Haze #16-20, Sparkle Dun BWO #16-20, Hackle Stacker BWO #16-20, Olive Haze #16-18, Tilt Wing BWO #16-18, Parachute Adams #16-20

Suggested Nymphs: Black or Red Zebra Midge #18-22, Black or Red Winkers Midge #18-22, Black or Olive Tailwater Tiny #18-22, Black or Red Rainbow Warrior #18-20, Olive Micro May #18-20, FB Pheasant Tail #16-20, Olive or HE Anato-May #16-20
