Jim Elias's Tip of the Week
Fluorocarbon is an absolute must. The water is about as clear as it gets right now so if you're not using it you're making it harder than it needs to be. Also, if you've got flies without beads and dubbed heads they might be worth using instead.

5-Day Outlook as of 5/19/22
Windy today and tonight lingering through Friday. Warming trend starts tomorrow with temps reaching the 80s by the middle of next week.
Techniques & Tips as of 5/19/22
Running multiple midge or leech patterns under an indicator is best with these water temperatures. Waters still a little cold to be stripping anything with sinking line unless you're going to slow troll with some leeches.
