Pale Morning Duns are coming up next. Fourth of July is the first time anglers normally get up here, and the streams are low due to lack of snow pack. Use Woolly Buggers and leech patterns in the lakes and on the streams, move more to Renegades, mosquitoes and elk hair caddis on the streams. Fewer planted fish will be available this year. Check out the China Meadows on the south slope.
Some fish are still up for smaller cicadas, but dry fly fishing is better with a nymph dropper now.
Chernobyl ants are better than cicada. Ideal setup is a size 8 Chernobyl ant with a bead head pheasant tail 2 feet off the back of it in size 18. It's a great time to fish grasshoppers because the fish are so keyed-in to looking up for dinner. Streamer fishing is great when the sun goes down, using Clouser minnows .
