REPORTS: Once the fish get rolling on the surface around 11, you will have your best luck on either mahogany or baetis patterns. The small dun hackled parachute baetis are particularly effective on pods of selective fatties. Another thing vastly overlooked this time of the year is fishing immitations of those little flourescent beetles that're ALL over the willows on the gravel bars along the river. Haven't even ever seen 'em? Take a minute to look. There're about a #14 and look JUST like a Griffith's gnat tie. Just a pile of peacock basically. You'll be amazed at the response you'll get from pods and sketched out fish that've seen everything else.
HATCHES: hecubas, baetis, mahoganies, giant golden stones, October caddis, terrestrials.
FLIES: Royal Wulffs, comparadun and thorax ties, parachute Adams in 12s and 14s. Have dark colord mayfly offerings from size 18 to 10 and some bigger attractor/hopper patterns. Don't overlook the bugger fishing in morning.
