Pretty much a weather replica of Missoula over here today – wind and sun. The river has been fishing well on all fronts. Streamers, nymphs and dries are all taking fish these days so it’s pretty much a matter of personal preference. Like most times of the year over here, nymphing remains king for racking up large numbers of fish. No secrets either, same old stuff. Scuds, baetis emergers, San Juans, lightening bugs, Ray Charles . . . . you know the drill. Smaller buggers in rootbeer colors have been our best depth charge, but BIG brown and yellow offerings have been second best. On top you can 6x your way though pods of snots using CDC whatevers, or skip the attitude filled fatties and 5x your way to success in more forgiving pods willing to eat standard stuff like cripples, parachutes and comparaduns.
