The river is in great shape. It’s clear and at a comfortable level for wading. Little black flies, (aka: snowflies) in the flat water above Falls have been creating quite a stir, especially if you like to cast to rising fish. Further downstream, Black Stoneflies have been very active from Bunkerhill through Big Falls. Try a #14 black caddis or #14-16 quill winged stone pattern in the riffles around log jams and deadfalls.Small bead heads in the #18-22 range behind a #14 Red or Orange butt are a great combination when covering water on windy days. Fish the transistion between riffles and flats and start with a 10ft or longer leader ending in 6x…
