Recent trips to the Powerhouse 2 riffle have been fruitful for the few anglers who have gone. Smaller Baetis nymphs have been the predominant fish-getters, look to throw something like a Jigged Micro May or a Sweet pea. Primary emerging insects will probably continue with smaller mayflies like Baetis and midges. Zebra Midges in #18 or 20, S&M's in #18 and other Baetis nymphs fished under a larger dry is one of the more productive methods during the late fall and winter. Rubberlegs in the deeper holes will cajole a large fish to eat. We'll have some giant Caddis and Stonefly hatches soon. In the flats below the Powerhouse 2 Riffle, target sipping fish with the appropriately sized Adams, #18-20 would be about the largest we can recommend.
Hot Flies:
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Rubberlegs
• Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• S&M Nymph
• Walt's Worm
• Peaches n' Green
• BP Weiss Nymph
