How to fish it · for Trout
When
Stocked all season; best on overcast, breezy days with cool water
Where
Start with Hare's Ear Nymph (12-16) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. As evening approaches, switch to dries or emergers if you see surface activity.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Hare's Ear Nymph (12-16) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. As evening approaches, switch to dries or emergers if you see surface activity.

Plan B

A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

Bank fishing near inflows, dam walls, and weed beds. Move to find feeding fish.

This rule is applied conservatively as a regional default; river-level overrides should open Sunday where confirmed legal.Closed
