From the benchWith sunny skies and afternoon gusts up to 35 mph forecast, get your dry fly and nymph fishing done before noon — wind will make presentations sloppy by mid-afternoon. Focus nymph rigs in the 18–24 inch depth range through the heads of pools and riffle-to-run transitions where fish are stacking to intercept drifting PMD and caddis nymphs. As the wind picks up midday, switch to a single heavy terrestrial like the Bionic Ant and pound the grassy banks — trout will be looking up for blown-in food. Come evening when the wind dies, position yourself downstream of any visible rise forms and present caddis dries with a reach cast to maximize drag-free drift time.
