Falcon's Ledge 's Tip of the Week
Fish pools and deep runs. White is great color for streamers, work them deep. Try a spanish bullet, copper johns, Baetis nymphs and rainbow warriors during the day. Try soft hackles and midges in the evenings. When fish are rising try an Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Hopper, PMX or Klinkhammer. Low flows, be careful not to spook fish.
