S-22

The cooler nights and daytime highs have lowered water temps into the 50s now, down from lower river daytime water temps that hovered around 68 to 70 degrees most of Aug. and Sept. It's nice to see the arrival of fall! There are some drakes showing up and even a few mahoganies with the changing daylight hours and water temps. Baetis are still on the horizon, but there are enough fish looking up to keep it interesting. Darker bodied mayflies ranging from size 12 cripples and button emergers to small parachute Adams/purple haze stuff in 16s to 20s are working well. Tandem nymph rigs that incorporate stuff like rubber legs, double beaded stones (peacock) and natural colored San Jauns are taking fish for us. Yellow to light olive streamers have been doing GOOD things from Florence downstream

 
PATTERNS: Parachute adams, elk hair caddis, morrish hopper, Copper Johns, Psycho Prince, Red or pink San Jaun worms in tandem with size 14 amber princes. Sculpzilla streamers, JJ's specials, Prince nymphs, girdle bugs.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: You know we'll refill your Kingfisher-label gink bottles for a buck, don'tcha?
