The fish are holding in their winter lies. Look for trout to be feeding in the slower, deeper runs for the foreseeable future. There is some midge and blue winged olive activity occurring midday and there are some rising fish that are targeting those midges and blue wings on the surface. Fish small midges, blue winged olives, sow bugs, and some other attractor patterns. Don’t be afraid to cover water and fish a streamer through the deeper runs and near cutbanks. You might be rewarded with some larger fish.
