Orvis Greenville's Tip of the Week
The water is crystal clear so use light leaders, 4-6x. Use flourocarbon for subsurface flies and potentially for the last 8-10" of your dry fly leader. With warmer temps we are starting to see hatches so be ready to tie on a dry. Caddis and Mayfly patterns have been working well. Dry Droppers will be your most effective technique. We recommend an adams or elk hair caddis trailed by a small midge or emerger
