Temps cooling down finally. Flows are low, so look for deeper holes for fish. Hopper/dropper rigs are a good go-to with a small mayfly or caddis pupa dropper.
BWO hatches are starting to show in the afternoons, but the morning hatches have been decent with Tricos and Pseudos hatching. Think very small dries.
Also dont forget to bring some streamers.
