Fishing Conditions 

Clear water right now means spookier fish.  Spookier fish means you must dial your flies, depth, and rigging just right.

Bugs are on the menu.  Midge and baetis nymph rigs will be the number one right now.  Expect some midges to hatch late morning, and a few BWOs around noon.

Summer rains seem to come earlier each year, so be prepared with a few flying ant patterns in June.
