July Golden Stones – early July can boast some excellent dry fly and nymphing for good size trout. Size 6-8 flies offer some exciting action. Mayflies – July often has excellent number of Pale Morning Dun’s (PMDs). Caddis – much of July and early August have our annual summer Caddis. Size 12-16 X Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, and small Pheasant tail droppers are most effective. Terrestrials – Hoppers and beetles are excellent options as the August heat sets in.
