BACKWATER ANGLER

We’re experiencing great weather if you’re a duck. Take advantadge of the cloud cover and cooler temperatures in July while they last.Water conditions have been up from last week but are still on the low side, clarity is fine and temps have been from 52 to 55 F in the Catch and Release section, and a little warmer and cloudier below Little Falls. Pheasant Tails and Copper Johns, sized #14-16 have been working great in runs and cut banks. There is a lot of new wood in the river. Dredge up some fish around the new log jams and deadfalls by dead drifting small Olive Flashabuggers under an indicator. Remember that August is just around the corner so if you’re tying, make up some beetles, hoppers and ants to get you through the dog days ahead.
