Orvis Phoenix 's Tip of the Week
Stocker season is here! We are having luck swinging streamers and with long indicator rigs. We like san juan worms to small midges, if you really wanna mess around with a good bite, try hanging a balanced leech under a san juan worm.

5-Day Outlook as of 3/24/24
Lots of good fishing near blue point, that area should be your main access through the winter.
Techniques & Tips as of 3/24/24
Indicator rigs and intermediate leech lines are king for early into the heart of winter here! We love to throw hares ear and any shiny nymphs. Lots of fish will be foolish to goofy colored flies when they are freshly stocked.
