Fishing conditions and Hatches: Excellent. Clients are still having excelelnt fishing when it is not raining or snowing. Midges coming off early and late and if it warms up (not in forecast for until after the weekend) the big BWO hatches will return. A Caddis or two have also been showing midday so if you see some go to a fat Pheasant Tail - a perfect pattern to match the Caddis pupa subsurface.

Recommended Flies:
Nymph: Gray/black Optimidge #18, WD40s in grey or olive, #16 #18 Brassie, #16 Copper Zebra midges, #16 PT's and Hare's Ear's.
Dries: #16-#18 BWO Comparaduns and #16 Parachute Adams, Kauffmans Stimis, #10 Foam Hoppers , Extended Body BWO.
