A few inches of snow around; but nothing that will prevent vehicle access to the parking areas. The release rates have been holding at 140cfs for an extended period. This has spread the fish out nicely in the “miracle mile”. Numbers are not great; but you can come tight to some nice rainbows if you cover all the deeper slots in this section. #14-18 Assassins, Crystal Eggs, #16-20 chironomid patterns (Copper Tiger, Gillie, Zebra, Blood Midge, and Brassie) have been good patterns to fish below an Under-Cator sufficiently weighted.  Use the attractors during off hatch periods. Some solid midge hatches have been happening late mornings on the high pressure days.  Para-midges are an excellent choice on the EW. Use a hi-vis para BWO as a flag fly on a dry/dry rig to make it easier to fish the tiny midge adult.  The cold water mayfly called the blue winged olive (baetis) is the preferred bug for the trout to snack on during the late winter/early spring. BWO adults emerge after mid-day, & typically come off for 1-2 hours. The trout focus on this hatch, and will stage up in the tail outs of larger pools, and in deeper riffles. They will stick close to the foam lines to snatch the adults as they dry their wings before elevating off the water. Dry/dropper rigs are a good call during this period. FB PT’s, Assassins, and hares ear nymphs are the right profiles for your nymphs.
