Flies & Rigs Working for September
We’re still seeing warm days and plenty of summer bugs, but the first signs of fall should start showing soon. It’s also time to start looking forward to some of our favorite fishing of the year, STEAMERS!
STREAMERS
Our favorite way to fish Fall! Fish are active, and as the water cools throughout the month, more opportunities to move bigger fish on streamers will open up.
Flies:
• Mini D&D
• Sculpzilla
• Sparkle Minnow
• Woolly Bu**er
• Hot Head Thin Mint
• Balanced Leech
DRY FLY
There’s still plenty of dry fly fishing to be had. Terrestrials will definitely be on the menu on these warmer days while smaller mayflies become more important as we move through the month. Keep an eye out for Blue-winged Olives as the weather cools, especially on those cloudy days.
Flies:
• Chubby Chernobyl
• Amy’s Ant
• Purple Haze
• Parachute BWO
• Sparkle Dun
• Elk Hair Caddis
NYMPHING
As temperatures start to drop, nymphing will become more productive. Smaller midges will become a bigger part of the menu as fish begin settling into the cooler water temps.
Flies:
• Two Bit Ho**er
• Perdigon
• Split Case BWO
• JuJu Baetis
• Zebra Midge
• RS2
Be ready to adjust as conditions change and take advantage of whatever the river gives you.
