Until Next September.

We closed out some September waters this week with mixed results. Scenery was incredible with some areas at their peak of coloration. With September streams put away until next season I already feel the season coming ever so close to the end. Here is a rundown of this weeks tactics.

• Drys: Baetis/BWO good to poor depending on location. Seen everyday in some degree. Slate drakes waning. Still having the occasional spinner evening event. Some fish responding to it. Flying ants size 16-20. Cinnamon.The Big Silly is still getting looks and takes.

• Nymphs: Indicator nymphing can be the most productive technique if conditions warrant it. We had one day earlier this week that was a "bobber" day. Mix it up. Pheasant tail nymphs 18-22 rule.
  

• Wets: Old school style never goes out of style. We fished a small tanic stream using the double wet system with good results. Introduce yourself to some soft hackles.
  

• Streamers: Doubles, singles, bright, dull, big, medium, small. Featherwings to rubber leg,tungsten cone buggers worked to some degree. Get lower than you think you should. Find a taker.

There is a reason we stay later than many in the fall season. One is to witness events like the one pictured below. Stay late, sleep later.
