The weed dam on the Island Rd bridge has been mitigated with a channel, it is passable for now. As we are now in September, look for bigger Blue Wing Olive hatches to come off along with the last Tricos, Callibaetis and PMDs of the season. There are a ton of BWO dries, Norman's Loopwing and the Hackle Stacker are both fine flies. Small #18 S&M nymphs in black and olive will get fish eating subsurface. For the Tricos, the Drowned Trico and CDC Trico Spinner are good choices. Baetis and Callibaetis nymphs under the Fathead Moth is a good combination when the fish aren't rising. Strip Pine Squirrel Leeches and Water Boatmen in the mid-day and afternoons. If you would like to set up a day on the Fall, give a call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474 to set up a trip!

Hot Flies: 
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Weiss BP Nymph
• Norman's Wiggletails
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• Zug Bugs
• Zack's Stillwater Swimming Leeches
