Once we are past this unsettled weather the mayfly hatches will continue to increase through the month. A PMD spinner fall will happen in the morning, around 8 or 9, with the duns coming off beginning around mid day. Cloudy days will have Green Drakes coming off 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!
