Pretty solid hatches here now in the afternoons on BWO’s. You will see midges, some stoneflies, and even caddis poking around throughout the day. We are going lighter, or not as deep using our streamer patterns due to a slight flow drop. Water is still very clear in most sections of the river. The punk perch in dark and light has been the fly of the month. You can try mixing it up with different colors depending on the lighting conditions.

Best Flies: Spruce-a-Bu #8 Light and Dark, Loeberg #10 all colors, Agent Orange #8-10, Crystal Leech #8-10, Punk Park dark and light #8-12, Flashback PT #16-18, Copper Tiger Midge #18-20
