Falcon's Ledge 's Tip of the Week

Look for fish hiding behind structure and in deeper holes with low flows. Try a Zebra Midge, Spanish Bullet, Lightening Bug, Copper John, or rainbow warrior when fish aren't looking up. Try a parachute midge or parachute adams when fish are rising in afternoon and evening. Try a white streamer or San Juan worm when water is deep. Afternoon and evening is getting some good midge hatches.
