The PMD's on the creeks have taken off nicely. On 6/12 we had reports of seeing about 100 PMD dries, and today on 6/18 about 300 dries. This is great news for those who have rods. For those of you who don't, we've had several cancelations on all three creeks. Give us a call and we'll help you secure a rod during prime time.

Recommended Tackle:
490 Z-axis, G.Loomis 9'#4 Streamdance Presentation, or Winston BIIX 5 weight.  Ross Evolution 2, Lamson Litespeed 2 Scientific Angler's Trout taper line or Rio Selective Trout.

Recommended Terminal Tackle:
George Anderson's Maxima Clear Butt 12 foot 5x hand tied leader with Segaur Grandmax fluorocarbon tippets. Depending on depth and water speed, hang two nymphs 3-6 feet below a medium sized thill indicator. This would also be a good opportunity to see if you like the balloon indicators.
