167CFS. The big difference maker here is getting the correct amount of weight so the flies get to the bottom. Try double or triple midge nymph rigs with lots of weight. Guides suggest using various baetis and egg patterns. Lead with Blood Midge, Zebra Midge or Miracle Midge. For your trailer, go with a Mercury Midge, Black Beauty, Top Secret or Chocolate Foam Wing. The warm weather days in the forecast should improve the fishing and maybe some late season dry fly fishing. Use stealth when approaching the river to increase your chances of success.
