The season officially closes for all designated streams on September 30 (you can still fish that day).  The season has also shifted to catch and release/barbless hooks.

Area streams are clean and very low, so fish are skiddish, that is, if they aren’t on top feeding on tricos, BWO’s, midges, or terrestrials.  All four of those “hatches” have been going strong as we near the end of the line.  Think small nymphs and emergers and tricos, gray baetis in #22, and cream midges.  Beetle patterns have been outfishing hoppers, as this hatch never really materialized for some reason.
