Hoot Owl Restrictions have been put in place for the Dearborn, Smith, and Sun rivers.

The tricos are getting better and better as the days go on. The late summer caddis hatches are starting to appear, and the callibaetis mayfly is making its presence known. Hoppers are still an option. Nymphing is still not great. 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 marflies.
