From the benchWith water temps at 45.5°F, trout are metabolically active and willing to move for a well-presented nymph — set your indicator depth so your fly is ticking the bottom in 3 to 5 feet of water through the main current seams. Use a longer, lighter tippet (5X to 6X fluorocarbon) given the clear water conditions and keep your drifts long and mend-free. As the afternoon heats up toward 86°F, shift your focus to the shaded banks and deeper runs where fish will stack up to escape the surface glare. Watch for any PMD or caddis activity picking up in the evening — if you see fish starting to nose up, switch to the Mayhem Emerger fished just under the film.
