Dropping above, Steady Below

Below the dam, fishing will be pretty good. Fish your favorite nymph rig with worms, leeches, attractor nymphs, and scuds.

The upper is fishing good but you gotta get up early, or hike far.  This is not a secret location.  For those heading into the Weminuche.  Fish as far as you can hike or spend the night.  Single dries, streamers, or dry/droppers are a solid way to fish this section.
