From the benchWith the Pan running at 109 CFS and gin-clear, your approach is everything — stay low, wade slowly, and keep your shadow off the water. Set up well below your target fish and use a 12-14 ft leader with 6X or 7X tippet to keep the fly line out of the equation entirely. Focus your nymphing on the transition zones where fast water dumps into slower pools; that's where trout are stacking to intercept midges and Mysis without burning energy. When the BWO hatch fires mid-morning, watch for subtle sipping rises in the flat water and switch to a dry or emerger — these fish have seen everything, so a clean drag-free drift is non-negotiable.
