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, Zebra Midge, Spanish Bullet, Lightening Bug, Copper John, or rainbow warrior when fish aren't looking up. Try a parachute hopper, PMX, stimulator or parachute adams when fish are rising in afternoon and evening. Try a white streamer or San Juan worm when water is deep.

Techniques & Tips as of 9/28/24

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 try a PMD and in the evening PMX, klinkhammers, and parachute adams.
