Nymphing Has Been The Best Ticket

The ranch is still fishing pretty well, lots of nice fish being caught down there, some up to around 24 inches. Nymphing has been the best ticket but we have had a couple good dry/dropper reports, mostly the fish were taking the dropper but occasionally the chubby or stimulator on top. Typically this is a good time of the year to fish streamers like a dead drift crayfish so I wouldn’t be opposed to giving that a try. We are getting a pretty good number of bookings on the ranch so if you can plan a little ahead that would be good.
