Fishing Conditions 

Fishing is good, but flows ar rising with rain.  Discolored water can cause fish to move to bigger nymphs such as stoneflies, worms, or cranefly larva.  Fish closer to the banks.  As it clears, look for hatches of stones, caddis, and mayflies.

A dry dropper is a good searching setup.

Streamers too in the dirty water.

Patterns/Bug

Nymphs: Prince nymphs 12-16, Pat’s Rubberlegs 4-8 or Jigged Pats 8-12, Black and Copper Copper Johns 12-16,  20 Incher 10-14, Deep Cleaner Nymph 10.

Dries: Parachute Adams 10-16,  Stimulators 10-14, Amy’s Ant 10-14, Chubbies 6-12.
