Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
We still think the best strategy is to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike
indicator with the midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly.
Fish the adult midge only when you observe trout feeding on the surface.
The Black Matuka and Olive Matuka Sculpin are good flies to use for the larger
trout. The Brown sculpin, White Belly sculpin and Articulated streamers are great
flies to use at this time. Scuds and sowbugs are available year-round.
Various species of Blue-winged olives will hatch off and on. Fish the nymphs in
the morning, emergers and duns when hatching and spinners late afternoons.
Aquatic worms are working.
Samonflies are hatching.
Spotted sedge caddis are hatching.
Pale Morning duns are hatching.
