Lots of fish in there
The Fall has been fishing great over the last few weeks. There seems to be plenty of fish swimming around in these clear waters. The BWO's are showing along with midges and a few caddis. Terrestrials, like ants and beetles have been working too. Go as light on the tippet as you can. 5x may get looks, but fewer commitments than 6x. Flourocaron for dropper flies is a great choice, as you can get away with a heavy line. A good floating Caddis or ant with a mayfly dropper on 5x flouro has been a good combo. If you use 6x, just be careful pulling on some of those beasts, as you loss lots of flies. If you are fishing streamers, you'll be able to use a bit heavier line too, something like 3 or 4x flouro. The river below the falls is closed so remember to stay above.
