Jay Aylward's Tip of the Week
The Millers is still super warm, and the trout should be left alone and if caught landed and released quickly and without taking them out of the water. The smallies are still on fire over here, hoppers, Mr. Wiggles, Caddis, Small poppers, Crayfish, and Sculpins have all been getting it done. www.handmadeangler.com
