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

The cooler weather should get you excited, if only for the fact that the weeds will be disappearing in a short time. Tricos, caddis, callibaetis, hoppers, etc. That is what it’s been for weeks, and what it will continue to be for the time being. 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.

This is probably an unexpected throw-back, but it’s the best jazz album in history, so it’s worth a listen.

FLIES: Tricos, beerheads, Joe’s Hopper, Rainey’s Hoppers, goddard caddis, CDC caddis, micro mayflies, wire worm, Morris Hoppers.
