Dry Fly Addiction.

This week has been one of the toughest of the season. One large river and two small streams produced due to lower than average summer water temps. Throwing dries worked on all. What I should really say is throwing really well worked on all. Good presentation skills are your most valuable tool in box right now. Not the fly. That's right. NOT THE FLY. It's all about the drift.

Dry patterns getting the job done include: Parachute Adams 14-20, BWO 16-18, Rusty Spinners Biot/ CDC 16-20, Translucent Spinner 16, Hares Ear Parachute 16, X2 Caddis 16-18 in tan, Lawson's Beetle 16, Beefus Midge 18, Yellow Sally CDC 16, Renegade 16.

Hatches are short lived. Yesterday's trip produced a fairly strong BWO hatch. Not thick, not thin. Steady. Cover those rises fast and well. Commit to making good presentations. How good? Good enough to catch fish good.
