Conditions

Expect low flows and tough afternoon conditions through the outlook window. Fish early while water stays cool—by midday, both bugs and trout dial back as temperatures climb. Wind will favor shorter leaders and terrestrial flies over extended drifts.

Techniques

  • Try a small nymph in size 16 or 18 off the bend of a high-floating parachute or hopper and cover all the likely holding water.
