Overview: This week is definitely different than last week's report. Lower flows have got the fish focused primarily on midges below the surface, with dry fly action happening in the afternoon when there's cloud cover. At 250 CFS, expect fish to be more concentrated and visible. Many areas that were previously too deep to see the bottom are now clear all the way through. Take advantage of the sight fishing. We've seen lots of trout feed off of weed beds, which tend to be sources of drifting midges. Black has been a great color. Try a size 22 Big Mac or your favorite black midge emerger. The trout haven't been too picky about the exact fly. A good choice for a second fly is a size 22 Chocolate Fluff Baetis or RS2. Otherwise, if a hatch comes off, have sizes 18–22 of Comparaduns, Griffith's Gnats, and Parachute Adams.

Tips/Technique: Especially with this drop in flow, the fish are midging shallow in the water column. Don't mistake a tail brushing the surface for a rise. Many trout are looking down and eating midges just 4 to 6 inches below the surface. If you see this kind of behavior, switch to light, shallow rigs. Tiny indicators placed just about 6 to 8 inches up, with little to no weight, have been the ticket.
