Cold weather, hot fishing.
Recient snow and cold weather have sent the tourists to lower ground. The stream is empty and fishing is great. Bluewings are hatching sporadically through the day and Mahogany duns have joined the show and have fish looking up for most of the day. #20 parachute bwo patterns like the sprout BWO are killers for the spooky sippers, but as soon as you see a Mahogany on the water its time to bust out the #14 Mahogany cripple. Its hard to not catch fish when these large mayflies are on the water. Streamers are also kicking out good numbers of fish. We’ve been fishing larger sized streamers with good success. Beldar’s bugger in olive or brown/yellow and zonkers in natural or white are making fish take notice. Happy fishin’.
