Streamers:

Fished here briefly this past weekend up at the interpretive site as I needed to clear out the waste line tube. The fish up here are pretty spooky, and I don't blame them as there were at least 7 cars parked there when I showed up. The wind started howling about 30 seconds after I walked down to the water, but a friend of mine was fishing there before I showed up and he said it shut down just about the time I parked. I'll have some more time to get up there this week to get some better information. From what I could gather from him, small midges and caddis emergers were the flies of choice.
