Jay Aylward's Tip of the Week
Summer conditions exist and we are looking at warm and low water. Sulphers, Caddis, and Terrestrials are all taking fish on the surface. With the low water be careful with your casts to not spook fish. Also with the heat and bright sun, our best timing is early and late. www.handmadeangler.com
