Fishing Conditions
In May on the ole big river, you might find a few fish eating baetis, but the real game is streamer fishing. Get that fly close to the bank, give it a few strips, and hold on.
Of course, you could throw a nymph rig, but that’s kinda lame right?

Nymphs: Prince nymphs 10-16, Runt Stone Golden 12-16, Pat’s Rubberlegs 8-12, 20 Incher 10-14, Flashback Pheasant Tail 14-20, Blowtorch Jig 14-16.
