This river is fishing well. There are still some golden stones, plenty of Yellow Sallys, caddisflies, and PMDs around. It’s bustling, but there’s enough great fishing for everyone. For dry flies, I suggest tan or olive X-Caddis, E-Z Caddis, PMD Cripple, Yellow Sally, and Chubbies Chernoybl’s. I also favor the Foam Stone Golden in sizes 14 and 16 and never regret it. The nymph fishing remains reliably productive. Classic patterns like the Prince Pheasant Tail, and G. R. Hare’s Ear are effective as well as tungsten and jig bead nymphs, along with the Bullet Quill. Pat’s Rubberlegs in size 8 or 10, and olive or brown Zebra Nymphs, are consistently productive choices as well. There are a lot of boats in the float section, but if you get out and wade, you can cast to a lot of areas the boaters can’t hit. It is very important to do a long upstream cast in a downstream wind, so practice that double hall!
