Jim Elias's Tip of the Week
Your drift needs to be good to get the grabs, so run shorter drifts that present your fly in the best way possible. When I say shorter drifts, I mean it. Usually only 8-10ft of river at a time, sometimes less are way more effective than running a sub standard 20ft drift.

Techniques & Tips as of 5/19/22
Dry Dropper or Euro Nymphing if the wind isn't blowing. Otherwise a small piece of yarn will work best as your strike indicator.
