>>1233458River is loaded with stoneflies already and I was getting swarmed by midges a few days ago when I was last steelheading. I don’t have big enough hooks to make a proper steelhead nymph so I’ll buy some before Monday’s outing. These size 18-16’s will be for opening trout week or if I hit that year round stream before April 1st again.
Also tied the two copper Johns here on the end. I’ll make a few more later
