Fishing Conditions 

Fishing is good, but flows ar rising with rain.  Discolored water can cause fish to move to bigger nymphs such as stoneflies, worms, or cranefly larva.  Fish closer to the banks.  As it clears, look for hatches of stones, caddis, and mayflies.

A dry dropper is a good searching setup.

Streamers too in the dirty water.
