Suggested Methods
Its key to focus on smaller flies and light fluorocarbon now that we have lower flows. Best success will be had focusing on Trico, Midge, and BWO lifecycle activity. Nymphing will still be your staple throughout the day but be prepared with small hatch matching dries and emergers as even the bigger fish have been found focused on the surface and sub-surface film if enough bugs are present. Streamer fishing can be a good tactic...slow dead swings on your streamer presentation.
