Falcon's Ledge 's Tip of the Week

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

Techniques & Tips as of 6/7/26

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. Evenings are great for Caddis, PMDs are hatching some mornings.
