The season is winding down on the Fall and we will see significant cooling over the next few weeks. This means a ton of solitude if you should go. Most of the hatching mayflies are 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
