Our weather and water flows remain constant; some of our guides might refer to it as stagnant. With a series of unseasonably warm days behind us and more ahead, we’re experiencing a “second summer.” While most fish are being caught on nymphs, there are still a good number that will eat a hopper, beetle, or ant. Your favorite foam hopper, trailed with a small BWO bead head and fished methodically along banks and flats, will be effective. It’s worth taking your time to wade into side channels that are too small to float but contain deep pools where fish are hiding. Anglers have had good success nymphing these deeper, isolated pools with rubber legs and small bead heads.
