Summer fishing conditions are here!  Low clear water that allows you access to almost every hole on the river.  There is a lot of moss in the river so clean your flies every drift.  Fish are looking for midges in the morning. I have been doing well on dark colors, black, brown and dark grey.  Keep changing your midges around to get more strikes.  They will take on the surface, you can get them on midge dry flys, singles or clusters.  They will also take ants.  Just keep showing it to them.  In the afternoon you will do well in the faster water with beatis.  I have found grey, olive and chocolate to all work well.  The fish are eating the moss as usual so if things get slow you can always throw a leach or a bugger.  Basically everything is catching fish if you fish it well.  Have Fun!
