PMD's are hatching daily, and dry-fly fishing has been phenomenal. Longer leaders and good presentations are becoming more and more important as fishing pressure increases. Look for heads along the banks, in shallow riffles, and tail-outs. If you aren't finding any fish on top, short leash a couple PMD nymphs through the buckets and hold on tight.
