Most of my fish lately have been on stonefly nymphs. And a few on streamers.

I got skunked yesterday down towards Bow Bottom, I threw everything at them and didn't get a nibble. My buddy managed to snag an ugly sucker in the forehead but thats it.

I've learned thru the years this time of year is to get you're stuff to the bottom and slow, watch for any slight bump on the indicator .

Agree with you entirely, The fish iv pulled in over the last week have been SUCH gentle takes. Set often!!

[Steve fly guy]

thanks guys, other than rapalas, what are they taking on the fly and which technique... streamer or nymph?

[Toirtis]

Nymphs.....stones, ice-cream cone chironomids, prince nymph.

[Steve fly guy]

thanks Toirtis,
from other posts, I hear low and slow. Along banks, current seams or slack water off turns and islands?

[Badflies]

Hey I'm sitting around with the family for Easter in cowtown wondering what bugs to chuck. Thanks guys this gives me a start. If I hook into any ill be sure to post em, but sometimes it's enough to just get out and know you are at least barking up the right tree.
