Attractor city on this river right now. It's also fishing very well with darker or natural colored streamer patterns. The best dryfly action is still solidly between about 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., but nymphs before and after this time-frame will get you hooked up once in a while too. Even when you're having good dryfly action during the day, if your surface bug is big enough to support a dropper, make sure you're fishing one. Droppers will definitely increase your daily numbers. There doesn't seem to be a hot section of the river these days, it's all fishing well.
HATCHES: Hecubas, baetis, mahoganies, October caddis, golden stones, terrestrials.
FLIES: #14 parachute Adams or similar mayfly offerings. Large October caddis fished on top with movement or October caddis pupa bounced along the bottom. Big attractors such as tarrantulas with droppers and then double beaded stones in tandem with red San Juans fished right on the bottom under an indicator.
