Fishing Conditions
Lighter tippet, smaller flies, and stealth. Don’t rush, move slowly, and pick your drifts wisely through deeper holes. Flows are rising, and fish are becoming a little more active. Watch out for BWO hatches! An attractor nymph such as a worm or leech, followed by a small bug is a good move.
