It is the last of summer where there are very few bugs for the fish to eat other than midges. The good news is that there are midges coming off all day long. I know they are very small and almost impossible to tie on your line but this is what the fish are eating. It is about the same for the whole length of quality water. I have had some success with size 22 midges but if you go down to size 24 or 26 you will notice an increase in strikes. I have been fishing 6X fluorocarbon with success so stay away from the 7X or 8X which will leave most of your flies in the fish when you break them off. All kinds of colors have been working as long as you keep them small. In the last week we have caught fish on grey, olive, brown, black, cream and red midges tied in all kinds of ways. Don’t make them with lots of material, the actual insect is not any bigger than the hook. Most of the time it is smaller! Keep changing your flies when the fish stop eating them, they seem to be looking for anything a little different than what they have been seeing. Your rig and drift are the most important part of your day. Many fish are in the shallow slow water so use small weights, 8’s or 9’s, and put your indicator about 2 feet above the weight so you are running your bugs in front of there faces. Never ever let the fish see your flies drag! If you do they are much less likely to eat them. Be sneaky and you should have a great day. The fall is coming and we will see more insects in the upcoming weeks
Good luck, Chris
