Confluence Fly Shop's Tip of the Week
Callibaetis hatches are starting to come alive. Balanced leeches and chironomids are still producing. Damsel nymphs around weed beds should also start fishing well.

5-Day Outlook as of 8/9/22
Hot weather ahead may send the fish down a little bit deeper. Be prepared to add a little bit of length to your leader and dropper.
Techniques & Tips as of 8/9/22
Slip indicators with Chironomids and leech patterns underneath. Stripping leech patterns can also be very productive with an intermediate line.
