Fishing Report: 
With the instant drop in temps and cooling weather we've had there's been reports of a few BWO's over here. The other mayflies are mostly done, except for Tricos on the MZ when it warms back up again, they were there this week in force when it was warmer. Nymphing wise you can use your slender more representative bugs at this time of year as the creeks are pretty much between hatches, PMD's done, BWO's not really going gangbusters yet. You'll also want to be thinking of terrestrials now as we're basically to September. That means you can fish your ant, hopper, beetle smorgasbord. We've got a couple of new beetle patterns that have been effective, including the Neversink Trude that's not even supposed to be a beetle, but gets eaten (thanks Tom for thinking outside of the box)! Over on the MZ you've got the Trico's during the warmer weather but really it's a technical game right now so have your A game ready. Nymphing can be tough at times due to the weeds, but you can still pick fish up subsurface. Look for the black clouds from about 10 or 11am through the early afternon hours. Full season rates are on from here on till September - which is $100 for the Livingston creeks and $75 on the MZ, and you'll want to check on availability too.
