Dropping, higher with rain though

Fishing is slowing down with the recent rains and cooler temps, but fishing is not a lost cause. Cold fish still need to eat, just get the food to them…meaning add some weight! Attractor nymphs, caddis larva, and mayfly nymphs are a good choice. You can fish a hopper/dropper, but expect most fish to be on the dropper.

Maybe try a streamer too!

Nymphs: Prince nymphs 10-16, Runt Stone Golden 12-16, Pat’s Rubberlegs 8-12, 20 Incher 10-14, Flashback Pheasant Tail 14-20, Blowtorch Jig 14-16, San Juan Worms.

Dries: Parachute Adams 18-22, Griffith Gnat 16-22.

Streamers: Buggers 6-8, Mini Dungeon, Pine Sculpin 6-10.
