The weather is cooling off and we are entering the prime fall season on the Fall. The weeds have mostly died off and navigating the bridges is once again easy. Smaller mayflies continue to hatch daily, some Tricos, Baetis and smaller Callibaetis. 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. We have guides available over the next few weeks that will give you a great day, call Bryan or Chris in Outfitters at 800-669-3474 to set up a trip!

Hot Flies: 
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Weiss BP Nymph
• Norman's Wiggletails
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• Zug Bugs
• Zack's Stillwater Swimming Leeches
