After November 15th, you may only fish upstream from the Benton Bridge. Don't even think about keeping any fish or using bait or barbed hooks from then on people! As I said earlier this area will be great until the snow falls enough to shut down easy access.

We've got BWO's coming off daily including a strong midge hatch during the high barometer periods. Indicator, or dry/ dropper bead head nymphing is always a good choice here but those who are competent at tossing streamers will find the larger models on the prowl. Loebergs and my Punk Perch patterns in the #10-12 range work well in conjunction with a light to medium sinking tip line.
