you can go both was now. Dry dropper has been been working good and the bobber boys are getting fish as well, but its hard to stay out of the weeds with a deep rig. Keep an eye out for pseudos and baetis out this way. blue wing olives could be inbound sooner than we think. October caddis are showing up aswell so kee an eye out for those. Nymphing a stonefly is also starting to work again pretty good. When things are cooling off like this, the streamer bite starts to roll a bit more. Flashy streamers in the sun and olive streamers in the darker portions of the day have been solid.
