What to tie on at Junction with Roaring River

Picked from recent reports for this stretch.

Strong BWO hatches are expected in fall, especially on overcast days, providing excellent dry fly opportunities for selective trout.

A versatile nymph that imitates various active mayfly nymphs, a consistent food source in the river during fall.

Baetis nymphs are active year-round and are a primary food source, particularly during fall BWO hatches.

Terrestrial activity, particularly with grasshoppers, can still be strong in early fall along grassy banks, attracting opportunistic trout.

Midge activity increases as temperatures drop in the fall, making this midge cluster imitation effective for rising fish.

Midges are a consistent and primary food source year-round, and this nymph pattern is highly effective subsurface as temperatures cool.

Streamers are highly effective in fall for targeting larger, aggressive trout, imitating leeches and baitfish in cooler waters.
