Fishing Report:
Couldn't have called it any better, the Stillwater has been on fire floating this past week, although wade fishing remains difficult unless you enjoy huggin the banks and the willows in fear of your life!!! Up high it's been good, down low it's been good, really you can't seem to miss over here and it gets half the pressure the Boulder does and that's not much. Fantastic dry fly fishing for those with a rubber raft and some cojones. Mr Bubbles up there I hear will make a grown man drop a load, but with fish munching attractor dries and big attractor nymphs if you know what you're doing this can be a kick. Just bring along your dry shake, because a half floating dry is worthless in the pocket water and it's still cooking on the Stillwater - just a word of advice and caution - consult with someone who has fished this before to get a stretch of water recommendation - not a great place to take a drift boat or take your first float in a raft - had a woman drown up here a week or so back.

Fly pattern suggestions:
See above report - attractor dries - Red Chubby, Yeagermeister, Neversink Trudes, Tarantulas, you like it, it floats and has rubberlegs, fish it!
