There was a great PMD hatch going on up the Frying Pan today. Between 1 and 4pm they were coming off really well, the fish were rising frequently and catching them was quite easy.

The fish are little but really fun to catch. Here are a couple photos from the fourth of July weekend. A hopper pattern with an egg pattern following was a successful set up.

Even though there are fishermen everywhere today, the fishing is still great. BWO drys and Adams were working really well.

Down valley towards Glenwood Springs is pretty good right now using a deer hair caddis as a dry fly. Further upvalley towards Basalt and Aspen stonefly nymphs are good as well as egg patterns. Even though the runoff is real big, there are still fish to be had

Midge Larvae still in the casing

Blue Wing Olive nymph

Blue Wing Olive and Midge larvae are all over the place right now. If you fish with one of these nymph patters you're sure to hook some solid fish.

Spring is here, as are the hatches of a few bug species. The Blue Wing Olive as well as the Stonefly nymphs are in full effect. A good blue wing olive dry placed nicely will also create a difficult scenario for your aquatic friends to ignore.
