Great winter fishing conditions. The water is still clear, the sun will be shining all day, and bugs will start getting active around 11:00 today. Look for rising fish between 11 and 3 to winter stoneflies and midges.
Fish sub surface with bottom rolling patterns and slowly pulled leeches. Most fish will be at the bottom of pools in the morning and evening, sliding up into the flats below riffles to feed in the afternoon.
