There are good hatches of PMDs, caddis and hoppers and the fish are eating all of them. The blazing midday sun won’t help your topwater prospects that much, but there will still be fish looking here and there. The best dryfly action right now is early in the day and then again in the evening when the caddis do their thing. If you find yourself not having luck on top midday, the nymphing continues to be stellar with a wide variety of tailwater tandem rigs. We’re seeing enough fish rising throughout the day, however, to keep things interesting with a #14 cripple or comparadun. The streamer fishing is okay, but would be helped by some cloud cover.
