Jay Aylward's Tip of the Week
With the continuous rain the D has been on the high side. Find the and side eddies, pools and riffles to get your fish in the high water. Caddis are in the air and on the water in places, so always be on the lookout. Reports of fish hitting some attractors. Making the Dry/Dropper rigs an option. I have been sticking to the nymphing and doing great, and changing over to dries and emergers when I see regular surface activity, Stones, Caddis, and Mayfly nymphs have been doing it. Make sure to get your nymphs to drop through the high water to depth you want to fish. www.handmadeangler.com
