Flows have been dropped to winter flows, so it’s time to keep it sneaky, go smaller on the flies, lighter on the tippet, and lengthen your leader.

An attractor or junk fly nymph followed by a small nymph or midge is a good-go.  Move slow, be sneaky, and expect winter fishing.

Annelids in 18-22.  San Juan Worms, Egg patterns, Bunny Leeches 8-12 in White, Grey, Olive, Black.

Midges 20-26: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Tav’s Big Mac, Bling Midge.

Dries: Griffith Gnat 18-22, Bunny Midge 20-24.

BWO Nymphs: Foam Wing RS-2s 20-24, Killer May 20-24, Juan’s Sniper Baetis 22-24, Juan’s Jedi Master 22-24, Juan’s Olive Slim Shady 20-24.
