With the fish mostly spawning right now, the bite has been a bit tough again this week despite the shift in weather. At this point in the season a good way to find more consistent fishing would be to get out on a boat or float tube and use a slip indicator with midges or leeches, or a fast-sinking line with a larger streamer. For those fishing the shore, we recommend using a ladder and seeking out a more gradual drop off and setting your indicator shallow with two small midges, down to a size 14. This is also a good time to mix in that random river bug that somehow made it into your Pyramid box, such as a Duracell, Copper John or Pheasant Tail. You can also strip streamers at these beaches, and we would recommend using an intermediate or type 3 sink line with smaller beetle patterns or white buggers or baitfish patterns.
