Dropping, higher with rain though

Fishing is slowing down with the recent rains and cooler temps, but fishing is not a lost cause.  Cold fish still need to eat, just get the food to them…meaning add some weight!  Attractor nymphs, caddis larva, and mayfly nymphs are a good choice.  You can fish a hopper/dropper, but expect most fish to be on the dropper.

Maybe try a streamer too!
