The Fly Shop
The flats below the Power House 2 riffle are holding some nice fish keying on midges and Tricos right now. With some T-Storms in the forecast, you should see some evening Caddis hatches as well. For the Tricos, the Drowned Trico dropped or tight-lined works well. The Callibaetis are small right now, Bring size #16 & 18 for the Callibaetis, and #16 or smaller for the PMDs. Nymph-wise, if you are fishing the flats, the BP Weiss nymph, X-Mays in #18, or Sweet Peas are great to have along with some Peaches n' Cream and Zallibaetis. Fishing those under a small indicator or swung and stripped can get fish. The north sections below the 299 bridge are great places to swing cinnamon Poopahs or Soft Hackles in the evenings.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
