Time to move on to Grey Fox, March Brown's and Sulphur's plus do not forget the dreaded Crane Fly. Look for a cloudy day and target the edges of a good hole that has a really good riffle coming into it for Grey Fox and March Brown emegers, this is really a easy fish. Watch on the water near the banks for some really good fish, they target them emergers and will eat about everyone of them. I use a flush floating pattern that I am now using Firehole Sticks hooks and have found the hooking power of them to be wonderful, give them a try.
Sulphurs are the magic time of the year but can present a ton of trouble for then angler, best advice is to stop casting and look at what stage the trout are taking before you go casting to them and put them off. A nice soft hackle patterns presented in the early stages of the night seems to get them going, remember to impart a little action just before it gets in their window. The trout feed on all stages and not all the trout in the pool will be on the same stage, stop and look. Be aware for the Grey Fox spinners and sulphurs also. A good yellow or cream Crane Fly can really screw you up so beware of them, trout just love them!
It is also a good time to carry some yellow Stim's or any high floating adult stonefly patterns, you will see them crash into the riffles and get eaten up FAST, use a heavy tippet for this.
See you when the clouds come back. Be careful the other day we ran into two snakes, no danger but something to be aware of. Also if it gets windy get away from all the dead trees!
