This will continue thru the Fall and will provide an excellent opportunity to close out your season. There will be dry fly action as the flying ants fall prey to the trout, but nymphs continue to be the big producers. Review the latest fishing report from the UpCountry Fly Shop, but be ready with the classics (Pheasant Tails, Hare’s Ears, Prince, Frenchies, etc in size 16 and smaller), but also have some of the junk flies just to add color to your fly box. We will have a few extra Czech Nymph Rods that you can try or go forth with the Dry Dropper or Indicator Rig. I’ve started using the Poly Indicator and am trying to keep the indicator over the flies with frequent roll casts. This minimizes the “pull” on the flies. Coolers are always appreciated. We are looking forward to seeing you for this Fall Fest. Please send us a note with number of fisherman and dates so we can plan the food. We look forward to seeing you and catching FISH.
