The Mac has had high water, but fishing has been great. The March Browns are still hatching very much in a manner that fish are eating them. The PMDs are hatching in very good numbers this year, and McKenzie Green Caddis are starting up. The fishing has been best on swung wet flies and that has been taking very large fish. Nymph fishing has been picking up very well, and fishing should just get better. Stonefly nymphs have been working very well lately. Dry flies on times when you see fish up are the best times to put them to work, but otherwise you are going to be trying too hard for little results; so swing wets.
Steelhead are in good numbers, but high water has been a challenge. Fish will be in water that is still walking speed and 18″-6 feet deep. Shooting heads and sinking tips are a must this season!
