Wow do we need a good shot of rain, it's very low and clear to fish streamer's effectively unless your out very early or late in the day. Our days have been filled with too much sun for the BWO's to really be effective, some #20 dark tan caddis hanging around the stream edges, October caddis out but not in mass some Paralep's are found around Coburn but you never know when they will fall. Yes we have had a few great days of flying ants but you have to be in the perfect spot to take advantage of their flights ( they are normally found a good sunny day after a period of cloudy wet weather) and a few good days of just fishing a #16 black foam ant in the surface film or a #16 wet black ant under a dry have been a good bet but we need water. I have seen a few browns getting ready to spawn but there is just not enough water for them to get started, plus the water temps are not in the zone yet, will be have any early spawn we will if we don't get a good amount of water before the end of the month, so do your little rain dance and let the streams rise to give our fish some room.
One saving daily event has been a great midge hatch on a few specific holes on Penns, Johnson's and Stan's Bridge pool are two of the best but you have to be spot on casting and slip striking with a side motion to keep the fish from running around the pool and putting all the others down, a #24 black or cream down wing midge patter is all you need.
Another bet is Spring Creek for the same midge hatch but if your there and a few clouds do come in look for #20 BWO's to hatch.
