Fishing Locations

The upper has been fishing well these last couple days with nymphs, dries, and streamers. We have had reports of anglers having better fishing in the afternoon and others in the morning. It just depends on the day and the weather. Focus more on mid river structure to find the nicer fish. We are just starting to see fall BWO's out in certain sections, but the bulk of the other hatches are done and over until next year.  Small and flashy is the name of the game if you decide to nymph; Green Machines, $3 dips, purple deaths, and zebra midges are all good bets. The hopper bite has slowed down quite a bit, but some bigger fish will still eat them on occasion. Streamer fishing has been spotty with fish on the chase for a short window, and other times not wanting a big fly at all. When the streamer bite is on, try natural colors and smaller profile streamers. ** Varney Bridge is open to traffic**

**Rocket shuttle is back in business as of 07/24.**
