Pretty good bite here again as the river fish have returned to a more typical feeding behavior. We are seeing very solid BWO hatches in the afternoons, with some lasting a couple of hours and others going for 4o minutes or so. We are drifting on all of our runs here and taking advantage of the great weather. Most days have been quite pleasant in the 50-60 degree range, with very little wind. Various streamers have been working well with #18 BWO’s getting takes mid-day.

Best Flies: Spruce-a-Bu #8 Light and Dark, Loeberg #10 all colors, Agent Orange #8-10, Crystal Leech #8-10, Punk Park dark and light #8-12, Flashback PT #16-18, Copper Tiger Midge #18-20
