Falcon's Ledge 's Tip of the Week
Look for fish hiding behind structure and in deeper holes and use a hopper/dropper rig. Try a caddis nymph, Baetis nymphs, rubber-legged copper john or spanish bullet when fish aren't looking up. Try a parachute hopper, PMX, or klinkhammer when fish are rising in the afternoon.
