The water is at a great level-around 326 Cfs and dropping. At this level the river is full to its’ banks and back eddies and edges become very important. Fish will rise in the middle of the flow but are more willing to take a fly along the seams. As bright as it is today a few reminders about fishing shaded areas and wearing dark clothing should not go unnoticed.Caddis have been coming off throughout the day and most are sized #16-18. Try a Slow Water Caddis with a Tan wing and an Olive body. Sulphurs have been happiest in the late afternoon hours-say anytime after 3:00 PM. We’ve been using Biot Emergers sized #16-18, and Sparkle-Duns sized #16. Around 8:00Pm switch to a CDC rusty Spinner in a #16. It is is the last fly you should tie on to fish out the evening. Watch out for those branches!
Note: Biot emergers are very versatile. They can be fished as adults-just add dry shake or as emergers-by casting down and across and swinging the fly.
