Ask Jason about the 22" rainbow that got away.Streamflow is 182 Cfs, the river is clear, cool at 52 F and is taking on some beautiful Fall color. We've had quite a few reports of chunky browns in the 10-14" range taking size #14-18 caddis and #12-14 stimulators. Nymphs that imitate black fly larvae-think zebra midges have been dynamite-especially above Falls Rd. Large terrestrials should work fine in the #8, yes #8 through #12 range.Smaller, more traditional streamers such as Grey Ghosts and Mickey Finns are easier to fish than bulky patterns, get down fast, and the fish eat them. Leaves are falling along the trails and can be slippery even out of the water so now is a great time to consider putting in a new set of spikes in your wading shoes.Click on the read more button...
Olives are always a good bet,especially on cloudy warm days. We tend to use parachutes in the flats and emerger style patterns in the foam lines.
Note: Don't have a studded sole?
Consider a pair of Chota Citico or STL+ shoes next time you're in the shop.
You won't be dissapointed....
