The river below Holter running the same as yesterday morning at 4300 cfs. The bright sun is keeping the tandem nymph rigs the most productive but there are still enough bugs out and about to get a few fish looking up. Button emergers, cripples and CDC stuff have been the best on the March browns. All we’ve had to use on the baetis are Kingfisher limestone cripples. Good casts get eaten often enough so switching is unnecessary. The evening caddis should be a good bet too, as the warmer temperatures set in for real. Subsurface, the nymphs have been considerably more productive than streamers of late. Typical tailwater stuff is the name of the game. The beerhead baetis, zebras, gray scuds, lighting bugs and RS2s and green machines. That’s the shortlist of a LONG list of very effective patterns over here these days.
