Fishing Reports:
Flows are up a bit and reports are that it's a little off color from the recent rains, that should clear up soon, and when it does it should fish like it did for us on Sunday. Reports from clients and trips had been good - fish are eating dries big and small as well as munching on nymphs pretty heavily in the runs and pools. With the cooler outside temps, fishing will probably be getting better in the afternoons and less so in the early early mornings, so I'd recommend not getting the earliest start in the world. Hopper dropper when it warms back up, until then look for heads on some BWO's with the chilly wet rainy weather. And of course you can always fish a double nymph rig over here and do well - I recommend something in the 6-8 size range out front with some rubberlegs all over the place and drop a smaller 16 or 18 off of the back, works like a charm every time.
