Orvis Phoenix 's Tip of the Week
Starting to cool down. Still fishing olive c-mids and midges above the weed beds. Finding decent fish out deeper with woolly buggers and leeches.

If the weather calls for wind, Becker can be a miserable place to be.
Techniques & Tips as of 10/1/23
Fish chironomids under indicators, streamers, and leeches. Follow the wind! We have been having luck setting our indicator rigs just a foot above the bottom. Otherwise a foot above the weed beds if they are still roaming shallow!
