Ants and Hoppers will be a good choice all through September. With the cool nights the water temps are starting to drop and the lower part of the river should get active again. I did well Wednesday afternoon up in the catch and release areas. Nymphing was very productive with fish taken on Copper Johns, Pheasant Tails, Green Caddis Larva and Frenchies all in 12-16 size. Big Dries have been working but they seemed to be keying in on midges on the surface that day. Good luck. Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
