We haven’t seen the Baetis over here like we would have hoped by now, but it won’t be long. It should be in the low 70s until early next week. Smaller stuff is great, like BWOs and pseudos. Nymphing is good, especially with smaller mayfly nymphs. For dry flies, use cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair caddis, parachute baetis, baetis button emergers, small flying ants, and hoppers. For subsurface, stick with sow bugs, czech nymphs, caddis pupae, scuds, small PTs, lightning bugs and micro mayflies.
