Norfork River Fishing Report - May 23, 2017
Same story, second verse. The discharges and stream levels are too
high to fish. All you can do is wait until the lake gets down and the
discharges settle back down. As soon as that happens, the "catching"
should be good.

Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
The Black Matuka Sculpin and Olive Matuka Sculpin are good flies to use for the larger
size trout. The Brown Sculpin and White Belly Sculpin are always a great choice.
Scuds and sowbugs are available for the trout year-round.
Little Black Caddis are hatching.
A good 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.
Spotted Sedges, or caddisflies are hatching. Cinnamon caddis are hatching.
Little Brown stoneflies are hatching.
