From the benchWith flows at 414 cfs and gin-clear water, stealth is everything today — stay low, approach from downstream, and keep your shadow off the water. During the BWO hatch window (11 AM to 3 PM), switch to a 5X or 6X fluorocarbon tippet and focus on the flat tailouts where fish will be visibly rising. Early morning, run a heavy nymph like the Thread Frenchie or Rainbow Warrior along the bottom of deeper slots and undercut banks where pre-spawn browns are staging — keep your indicator set at 1.5x the water depth and watch for subtle dips. As light fades in the evening, tie on the Sparkle Minnow Sculpin and work it with short, erratic strips along the far bank — the mild temps today mean fish will stay active well into the afternoon.
