What's Hatching
We don't have a ton of bugs hatching other than small midges (20-22) and some brown caddis here and there (16-18). Nymphing has been super productive, fishing brighter nymphs, eggs, and worms has been extremely productive. Smaller dark single hook streamers have also been catching fish.
What they're eating
Hot flies

General Information
The Tully has gotten the fall stocking so there are lots of fish in the system. Get out there and fish, use your go to flies and if something you are using doesn't seem to work, try something new. Fish the slower seams, soft water, and deeper holes. Have fun out ther and be safe wading.
Flow bands and temperature bands are TCO's own calibration from years on this water, not a USGS product. The 68° line is a conservation threshold, not our opinion. Gauge data courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey.
