Fishing conditions and Hatches: Red hot warmer weather lately has flipped the switch and the fish are on the grab big time. Granite popped a cool 40 fish starting about 9 am. Nothing much happening real early but then the midges go off first followed by a major BWO happening starting about noon. Middle of the day even go big (#16) and buggy (PT's, Hares Ears, etc) sub surface as once the feeding starts they are not very choosy.

Recommended Flies:
Dries: #20 Extended Body BWOs, #20 High Vis Parachute BWO #20 Hackle Stacker BWO, CDC Baetis Dun 18-22, #20 Profile Baetis BWO, #22 Brook's Sprout Baetis.
Nymphs: #20 Olive WD40, #20 Olive Flashwing WD-40, #20 Split Case BWO, #16-18 Flashback Pheasant Tails, #20 Barrs BWO and PMD emerger, #20 Miracle Nymph, #16 Hare's ear.
Streamers: Try big and dark streamers late.
