Overall the river is in pretty good shape, the grasses haven't been piling up on the bridges, there are some hatches to target noses, and the weather will be cooling off this weekend. Look for spinner falls in the early morning, Tricos and Callibaetis. Later the emergences will be happening. Flies to target sipping fish for the spinner fall are the Drowned Trico, CDC Trico Spinner, the CDC Biot Spinner in both the Trico and Callibaetis. For the Callibaetis hatch, Quigley's Film Critic is tough to beat, although having Adams in sizes #14 - 20 this time of year will pay off big dividends. Brown and black Pine Squirrel Leeches and Theo's Waterboatman should round out your box for the afternoons. If you would like to reserve a day with a guide this spring for some great dry fly fishing on California's finest spring creek, give Bryan or Chris a call in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
