Fishing is picking up with the warming weather, but so are the flows.  Discolored water can cause fish to move to bigger nymphs such as stoneflies, worms, or cranefly larva.  Fish closer to the banks

 

Streamer fishing is good this time of year too.

Nymphs: Prince nymphs 12-16, Pat’s Rubberlegs 4-8 or Jigged Pats 8-12, Black and Copper Copper Johns 12-16,  20 Incher 10-14, Deep Cleaner Nymph 10.

 

Streamers: Skullybugger, Dungeons, Sparkle Minnows,
