Fishing conditions and Hatches: Good

Over the next month the Browns and Brookies are staging at stream mouths for the spawning runs and fishing the dropoffs near streams will be effective. Midge, streamer and attractor patterns will all be effective. A lot of larger fish have been planted in the last week.

Fishing inflated worms about 2 feet off the bottom has also been productive. Garlic pinched nightcrawlers and pink/white mousetails have also been effective.
