Orvis Phoenix 's Tip of the Week
Fishing fantastic right now, dry flies and nymphs! We love to prospect with a dry dropper here! There is no stocking being done this season, but lots of fish through out from greer to sheeps crossing. And even through the wilderness section.

5-Day Outlook as of 10/1/23
Fishing great, it takes some time for the water to heat up to really activate some good bites! Beetles, hoppers, and your normal caddis dry flies! Drop a size 16 Pheasant tail and you should be having an awesome time!
Techniques & Tips as of 10/1/23
Dry dropper rigs. We have been having lots of success with Parachute style flies and many types of terrestrials! Lots of fish in the undercuts!
