We've had some thunderstorms, there are more weeds growing and dying, and not much pressure. You can find solitude, the fish are there and eating. The main hatches are Tricos, smaller Callibaetis, some Baetis, and Caddis in the evenings. For the Tricos, the Drowned Trico and CDC Trico Spinner are good choices. The Drowned Trico, Trico CDC Biot Spinner and Dun Tricos will be good to have in the mornings. Baetis and Callibaetis nymphs under the Fathead Moth is a good combination when the fish aren't rising. Strip Pine Squirrel Leeches and Water Boatmen in the mid-day and afternoons. If you would like to set up a day on the Fall, give a call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474 to set up a trip!
