The water has been off all day. The fish are biting, but still needing to use small flies. Today we had enough wind that dry flies started working well. Top picks were cracklebacks in green or orange size 14, and renegades. Sculpins were doing well
early then switching to midges in black, gray, and cinnamon in
size 20 and 22’s.
Alot of guys are saying the fishing is slow, but what that really means is that they are probably fishing to big right now. When the fish are tough, you need to down size your flies and leaders. 7x is good but if you can manage it 8x would be better. That will keep the fish biting and keep you busy fighting fish.
Nice little cool down we are having. Low to mid 80’s. sure is nice not to be in the 100’s. Table Rock Lake is down to 914.0. A foot below power pool now.
