Fishing Conditions
Flows have been steady and the water is clear, but fish are feeding good.
Bugs are on the menu. Midge and baetis nymph rigs are a good setup to start. However, you can expect midge and BWO hatches to come of late morning through the afternoon.
The ant fall happened early June already, so it would never hurt to have a few ant dries all summer.
Patterns/Bug
Midges 20-26: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Tav’s Big Mac, Bling Midge, Grey and Olive Midge Pupa.
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, All Flavors of WD-40s #20-24.
BWO Dries 20-24: Parachute Adams, CDC Comparadun, Vis A Dun, Baetis Parachute.
