Fishing has slowed somewhat, but is still solidly great. With the warming weather we should see the Callibaetis really popping and the Hex begin on the lower river. PMDs are still coming off and the spinner fall is happening earlier, the main hatch will happen after 10 usually. Some Tricos are beginning to show, look for the spinner fall to ramp up in early July. Good flies for the PMDs are the PMD Challenged in #14and the CDC Biot Spinner in #18. We will see more Water Boatmen and the Damsels should really be emerging in force over the coming weeks. 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!
Hot Flies:
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Weiss BP Nymph
• Norman's Wiggletails
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• Zug Bugs
• Zack's Stillwater Swimming Leeches
