The fish have grown all summer and they are really rambunctious. There is an awesome Callabaetis hatch mid mornings and there have also been some Blood Midges around. Snail patterns fished on a sink tip or intermediate sink fly line in 4-12 feet of water have been working well. Nymphing with a "DCA" in the same type of water has also been effective. Maholo Nymphs and Midges are a good way to go.
