General Info

Specific Tips

The Little J fish seem to love green anything, whether that be a streamer, a hotspot on a nymph, or the nymph itself.
Fall is streamer season. Even with lower than normal water, pitch a Slumpie under overhanging foliage, against a high bank or that bucket in the middle of a run.
