Good numbers of fish are in the upper reaches in and around the Spring Creek bridge and Zug Bug. 'They are eating everything we're thowing at 'em.' Some early PMDs are coming off and on cloudy-rainy days you will have Green Drakes hatching. Fish will eat streamers and Balanced Leeches. Good flies for the PMDs are the PMD Challenged in #14and the CDC Biot Spinner in #18. There are a ton of good Green Drake flies, the main thing is to put one in front of the fish. This spring should be a banger, if you would like to get on the calendar with one of or Fall River guides, 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
