Fishing Overview

08/11/26
BFC looks great! Watch out for quick rises with showers this week.
Terrestrials, like ants, beetles, or a small chubby, are working well during the day. Nymphs have been productive and streamers will move fish in low light or on cloudy days. "Greenie weenies" are magic on BFC.
