damsel, goldhead hares ear, gold ribbed hares ear, black/green fritz, white/green fritz, orange blob, black or olive buzzer.

Good numbers of specimen fish still being caught. Floater or slow intermediate lines best to get your flies 3 to 4 foot down. As well as the usual early season lures, anglers are catching well on nymphs now. The milder weather will really get the buzzer fishing started this week. Although they will be only small midges hatching, fish can be caught on size 10 or 12 buzzers as long as they are tied skinny.
