Temps will bump again this weekend and should come back down by the end of next week. We strongly suggest you bring a thermometer, and if not, fish above Simms. The water is extremely clear and the fish are eating smaller black offerings. Both red and black Zebra Midges in #18 - 20 are always a good idea along with your favorite Baetis nymph like a black Micro May, Two Bit Hooker, or any of the dark Perdigon patterns. You will continue to see Yellow Sallies and the smaller Golden Stones, so a dry-dropper setup with a size 10 tan, gold or brown Chubby Chernobyl would be a good choice. Be ready with your Caddis patterns when the sun comes off of the water and the fish begin looking up.
