Fishing Overview: Fish are feeding on small nymphs. Your best chance at finding rising fish is early in the morning, when temperatures are at their coolest.

Specifics and Tips: Small flies are the ticket. At this time of year we are not seeing much aquatic insect life on Valley. Small nymphs and surface patters (when appropriate) will be your best chance at success. Midge pupa fished under an indicator or dropped off a dry fly have been productive.

Hatches: Midges, Caddis should be the extent of it.

Hot Patterns: CDC and CDC/Elk caddis (tan, black #16-#18) Griffith's gnat (18-#24) Elk hair caddis (tan, black #16-#18) BWO emergers and duns (#18-#24) Caddis pupa (green, tan #16-#18) BHPT (#16-#22) Caddis SH (#16-18) Zebra Midge (#16-#24) Lightning Bug (#16-#22)
