Falcon's Ledge 's Tip of the Week

Look for fish hiding behind structure and in deeper holes using a hopper/dropper rig. Try a pheasant tail, Spanish Bullet, Lightening Bug, Copper John, or rainbow warrior when fish aren't looking up. Try a klinkhammer or PMD when fish are rising in afternoon and evening. Try a white streamer or San Juan worm when water is deep. Caddis are hatching in the evenings. Yellow sallies are starting to show up.

5-Day Outlook as of 7/20/25

Highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s. Sunny this week with a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms.

Techniques & Tips as of 7/20/25

Fishing nymph patterns such as pheasant tail, spanish bullet, rainbow warriors, and lightening bugs is proving most effective. Streamers such as woolly buggers, leeches, and zonkers through deeper runs and bends is also effective. In the morning and evening try a PMD and Caddis. White flashy streamers, flashback nymphs, and san juan worms are good things to try when fish are not rising.
