Small is beautiful…

The river is relatively low and clear, water temps are in the mid 50’s throughout the Catch and Release section and a little warmer below Bluemount. We’ve had steady reports of fish rising to midge and midge cluster patterns, (try an ICSI, Griffith’s or Renegade in a #18-24) from Masemore upstream to the dam. Folks fishing the Bunkerhill and York beats are finding a few fish rising to small caddis and BWO’s, (18-22) in flat water at the base of riffles. I’ve seen more than a few American Hoppers along the river this week-they’re about as long as your pinky and well worth imitating with a Rogue Hopper or Cabe’s pattern.Streamer fishing is starting to pick up, so try an #10 Olive Bugger in the pools and runs.
