We are starting to see more fish move up towards the Long Years section above the Benton Bridge.?? There is heavy pressure around the campground down to the Monument, but this area has received more than its share of DFG catchable fish this year and they are not the "sharpest knives in the drawer" if you get my drift?ĶLucky for us indeed!?? The hoppers are not having the best if times if they happen to get blown into the river during the afternoon winds.?? You should alter your rig during this time as the wild trout, especially the larger browns focus on this opportunity each year.?? Hopper fishing is a blast and you will be amazed at how savage a trout will smash a hopper pattern on the surface.?? Stimulator/ hopper and a dropper bead head olive zebra in the #18-20 range for the mornings and late afternoons.??
