| Blue-winged Olives, size 16/20, nymphs, emegers, duns and spinners Black Matuka and Olive Matuka Sculpin, size 4/6 Brown Sculpin and White Belly Sculpin and articulated streamers, size 6/4 Midges: Blood (Red), sizes 20/22, larva, pupa and adults Midges: Cream, size 20/22, larva, pupa and adults Midges: Light Green, size 20/22, larva, pupa and adults Aquatic Worms, size 12, pink, red, and others. Winter Stoneflies, size 16/18, nymphs and adults |
Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
Fish the Brown or White Belly Sculpin streamer anytime during low light conditions, or
early and late in the day. They are good flies for the larger trout.
The Black and olive matuka sculpin are also working good.
Blue-winged olives are hatching.
Aquatic worms are working.
Winter stoneflies are hatching.
We still think a good strategy is to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike indicator
with the midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly. Fish the adult
midge only when you observe trout feeding on the surface.
