From the benchWith 52°F water and a sunny forecast pushing afternoon air temps to 64°F, the prime window for dry-fly action will be the midday BWO hatch — typically 11 AM to 2 PM on bluebird fall days like this. Position yourself downstream of flat, slow pools and target rising fish with a #22 Parachute BWO or Barr's Flashback Emerger on 6X tippet, presenting well upstream and mending immediately to achieve a drag-free drift. Before the hatch fires, run a tight-line nymph setup through the deeper runs with a Juju Baetis or Olsen's Peacock Blowtorch at 18–24 inches below your indicator. Note that Davidson River Road has partial closures for bridge replacement — confirm your access point before you head out.
