Fishing conditions and Hatches: Good to Excellent. The big fish are finally moving into the clear water near the mouth of McGee and sipping on the surface. If you can cast 50 ft it doesn't get any more fun than sight casting to big rolling fish sipping damsels and Callibaetis, or fish a big Stimulator with a small midge a foot below it in 2.5 - 3 ft of water off the channel. You need 6X to get the most grabs so be prepared to donate a few flies to break-offs when the pigs light up and all you hear is "ping" on the take. You can also midge in the channel from 5 ft to 13 ft about 250 ft to choose from as the fish are spread out. Try slooooow stripping a Damsel across the surface with a dry line. Go 3x for this or forget about it. Too long a kick in your float tube . Try 17 ft of water in Little Hilton if you can dodge the algae. 50/50 chance on any given day..

Recommended Flies:
Gray/Black Optimidge in size 18 under the indicator or a big greased up Adams or Stimulator. Extended body BWO on the surface or Doug's Calibaetis. (see http://thetroutfly.com/CALIBAETIS.pdf) Ultimate Damsel or other realistic Damsel patterns for stripping just under the surface. You will see your backing plenty if Mr. 22 takes it in 3ft of water and heads for the deep at Mach II.
