Doug Roberts's Tip of the Week
Some BWO May flies and midges are hatching so look for pods of risers. Look for fish sipping midges and BWO’s in the eddies. Streamers still working fairly well early morning and late. Nymph ledges and drop offs with micro May flies and Scud nymph patterns when risers can’t be found.
