So the fishing over here kind of fell off. You may be walking a lot for a few fish. When you find one trout, you may find a few. Fishing may pick up closer to the dam.
That being said, all summer is hopper season on the Lower D. With clouds or rain, expect some mayflies to hatch as well!

Nymphs: Killer Mayfly 20-24, Pheasant Tails 18-22, Black Flash Midge Pupa 18-22, Tavs Big Mac Pupa, RS-2 18-22, Splitback PMD Nymph 16-22, Juans Slim Shady 20-24.
