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 klinkhammer or parachute adams when fish are rising in afternoon and evening. Try a white streamer or San Juan worm when water is deep.
