Fishing Conditions
Clear water right now means spookier fish. Spookier fish means you must dial your flies, depth, and rigging just right.
Bugs are on the menu. Midge and baetis nymph rigs will be the number one right now. Expect some midges to hatch late morning, and a few BWOs around noon.
Do you need 7X? You might. You are going to have to get technical
