Fishing the slower deep pools will provide you with the best chances as of right now. Black/Brown Stones (10-14), Deerfield Stones (14) Rainbow and Case Caddis Czech Nymphs (10-14)  Pheasant Tails (14-18), Zebra Midge (18-22), Woolly Buggers (6-10) and Streamers. I had the chance to get out Sunday. It was chilly morning with occasional sun and strong wind gusts. The new Fenwick Aetos 10′ #5 I was using had no problem punching out the In Touch RIO  Perception line and 10′ fast sink tip into the strike zone. Brought an eager feisty brown to the net on a Flashy Bugger tied at the shop. The Fenwick Aetos is an unbeatable rod for the price. We also carry Hardy Rods and Reels and offer in-store incentives with the purchase of a rod and reel package. Tenkara USA rods have arrived. Rhodo, Sato, Ito and Iwana rods along with lines, flies and Tenkara net now available.
