The “catching” has been on the slow side in most sections. The name of the game currently is covering water to find these fish. There are some nice sized fish holding in some of the deeper pools currently. Cooler weather to settle in this week. Small mayflies, midges, & the last generation of caddis are still emerging daily, and it can be a blast with a 3-weight rod when you locate a pod of surface feeders. Hi-vis para mayflies, & caddis adults used as your upper fly; with dropper bead head nymphs like Assassins, flashback PT’s, olive dubbed crystal caddis, & tiger midges can be effective in the deeper tailouts, and brush lined slots. The bulk of the fish are holding in the deeper pits during the cooler periods of the day, so add some weight, & attach an Under-Cator to your nymph rigs to get down to the trout lying in these holes. At times you will find fish holding in some of the shallow gravel areas along the banks. We have had a consistent run of large rainbows this fall using streamer patterns like Spruce-A-Bu’s, Loebergs, & Seal Buggers, and Punk Perch. Light sinking tip lines are adequate to get your imitations down to these rascals that are staging up in the tailouts of the larger pools. Numbers have been down on recent drift boat trips due to a lack of fish stocking. Flows have dropped to 75cfs. forcing the trout to migrate into the deeper pools.
