We have not heard lately how it is fishing, but this is a good time to go historically. Balanced Leeches, worm, and midges under an indicator are go-to patterns, but those who know how to fish Zack's leeches or damsels on a sinking line can do very well!

• Harrop's Last Chance - #16-20
• Adams - #14-18
• Mayfly Cripple - #18
