From the benchWith the salmonfly hatch just beginning to fire and golden stones already active, focus your morning on nymphing the deep seams along the far bank with a heavy stonefly pattern, getting your rig to the bottom quickly in 3-5 feet of water. As the day warms toward noon, start scanning the banks for rising fish and switch to a dry — look for the biggest splashiest rises near overhanging willows where salmonfly adults are landing. The afternoon window before any storm cells build is prime time to walk the banks with a hopper or large dry, covering water quickly. If thunderstorms push through after 2 PM, drop back to a nymph rig and work the slower tailouts where fish stack up when surface activity shuts down.
