Hot Fly Patterns
Dry flies- Miller Time Hopper in sz 12-10. Morish’s Hopper in pink have been good in sizes 12-10 as well. Yellow bellied hopper patterns are still catching fish though, so try the Rainy’s Grand Hopper in tan and cream in sizes 12-8. As for nymphs, we have been having solid luck on Wire Worms (brown or red sizes 4-6) and trailing a pheasant tail nymph with or without the flashback (sz 16). Grey Ray Charles will get some fish too (sz 18-16) You can lighten up the split shot finally, water is down!
