From the benchWith sunny skies and a high of 68°F, plan your day in two distinct phases: be on the water by 7 AM to intercept the Trico spinner fall with small CDC patterns and midge nymphs in the tailouts, then transition to terrestrials by 11 AM as the sun warms the banks. At 3,200 CFS the river has plenty of depth — run your nymphs on a 9- to 10-foot leader with enough split shot to tick the bottom through the main seams, and watch for subtle indicator hesitations that signal a fish has intercepted your fly. In the afternoon, work the grassy right bank with a hopper or ant pattern using a downstream reach cast, letting the fly drift a full 10 to 15 feet before picking up — big browns will follow before committing.
