Jim Mitchell's Tip of the Week
There is a major blockage 2 corners down from the 93 brige below the Rocky knob. River left is open at this time, but very tight. March browns and caddis are coming off midday. Nymphing is good, with rubber legs, perdigons, lightning bugs, pheasant tails, and worms. Streamers are producing the bright ones, which seem to be the best
