Wow… Hard to believe July is almost over.

The Bow continues to fish well with nymphing being the most consistent method. Try stonefly nymphs like the Jimmy Legs or Rubber Leg Squirrel. Other good choices are San Juan Worms - in a variety of sizes/colors, Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ears, Evil Weevils, and caddis pupae.

If you’re still itching to be dry fly fishing try fishing in the evening. There are plenty of caddis around which means the Peacock Caddis, Swisher’s Dancing Caddis, and X-Caddis are good patterns to try out. If they’re not taking your caddis try a BWO imitation or PMD as we’re hearing many reports of fish targeting these bugs. Stoneflies are still around. They’re just not as plentiful as a couple of weeks ago. That said, large stonefly imitations like Barrett’s Hoppers, Fat Alberts, or Skid Bitches are worth trying. Not a lot of reports of Hopper activity as yet.

As far as streamer fishing…. So far it’s hit and miss with the most success happening at night.
