From the benchGet on the water by 7 AM and focus your dry fly game on the canyon pocket water — fish are actively feeding before the sun hits the water and temperatures climb. Slap hoppers and ants tight to the bank structure and undercut rocks, then let the fly dead-drift without any mending for at least 3–4 feet before picking up. If afternoon thunderstorms materialize around 3–5 PM, don't leave — that low-light window often triggers a short but intense BWO hatch on the tailouts; switch to a #22 Parachute BWO and work the flat water below riffles. Keep a close eye on water temperature in the lower valley sections and plan to wrap up fishing there well before midday.
