Dropping like a champion, wading opportunities are slowly opening up.?? Over the duration of the drop in flows, while the fish become re-acclimated, catching may prove a little spotty.?? That's not to say, however, that you won't come across individual "players" and newly forming (re-forming) pods willing to eat (they still need to eat!).??

Big Hoppers and Short-Winged Summer Stones remain the significant food-source.?? Caddis will continue to play a role, still later in the day mainly, though with the cooling days, that window will be pushed more to mid-day.?? Soon the late-day caddis event to look for will be the October Caddis, a harbinger for Fall mayflies to begin in-earnest.

Hoppers -?? Mo Joe Hopper Tan (doubles as short-wing stone), and Yellow #8-#10; Parachute Hopper #8-#10 (short-wing stone again ??? tan!); Green Hopper #8; Dave's Hopper #6-#10

Short-Wing Summer Stones -?? Stimulator, Rubber-Leg Stimi Tan #8-#10; Pat's Rubber Leg Brown #8-#10; Tungsten Stone Brown #6-#8

Sleeper Big Dry ??? CFO Ant Flesh #10

October Caddis -?? Cased Caddis #8-#10; Deep October Pupa #6-#8; Morrish's Adult #8; Sofa Pillow #10

Waning Caddis -?? X2 Caddis Tan #16; Elk Hair Caddis Tan #14-#16
