From the benchWith flows dropping fast and water clarity excellent, fish are stacked in predictable fall lies — focus on the inside seams of bends, undercut banks, and the first 10 feet of slack water behind mid-river boulders. For streamers, make a hard upstream mend immediately after the cast to get the fly down fast, then let it swing broadside through the strike zone before stripping back through the tailout. During the midday BWO window, downsize your tippet to 6X and position yourself well below rising fish — the low, clear water means trout will spook at 40 feet if you crowd them. As the afternoon light fades toward dusk, switch to the October Caddis pattern and work the slower bank edges with a slight downstream skitter to imitate egg-laying adults.
