While the river is in change, nymph fishing will still be the most solid approach. There will be opportunities to fish with midge patterns on the surface for periods most days. But to take full advantage of the trout s aggressiveness, my experience suggests that bright Scuds with Midge trailers produce the best overall success. That setup is especially good when targeting the larger trout that allow themselves to be seen by observant anglers. Some of the most effective patterns will be large Scuds in sizes 12 to 10.
Good colors are orange, pink or tan.
On the surface, try the classic Griffiths gnat in sizes 18-20. Also try some in white.
