The fish that have made the swim upstream and run the "gauntlet" are beginning to hit caddis dries, Stimulators, and smaller hopper patterns #16-10 in the specially regulated section of the river above the Benton Bridge.?? Dry dropper bead head nymph combos are paying dividends for fly fishers willing to do some walking and locate the deeper pools and runs that hold most of the rainbows recently planted.?? The bite has not really slowed down, it's just that a large amount of fish got plucked over the holiday in the section below the bridge and the huge volume of fish is no longer here.?? Still pretty dang good catching here, and copper or dark tigers #16-18 will get those rascals interested.

Team Troutzilla gets another picture on the web, this time with a double from the same bend.?? David and Jerry had a handful of dubs on one bend and we lost count after 40 on the same bend here!?? The copper tiger #16 spanked em for the first 2 hours, the PT's finished the day off in style.
