01Typical fall conditions with comfortable air temperatures and clear skies.
02Blue-Winged Olives (BWOs) are either actively hatching or about to emerge.
03Midges remain a consistent food source as water temperatures cool.
04Trout are bulking up for winter, making baitfish and egg imitations highly effective.
05Focus on deeper runs, pools, and current seams with good cover.
06Start with subsurface nymphing, transition to dry flies/emergers as the day warms, and consider streamers for larger trout.

What to tie on at Goldburg Access

Picked from recent reports for this stretch.

Midges are a consistent year-round food source, becoming increasingly important in cooling fall waters.

A versatile nymph that imitates various aquatic insects active in the current, reliable for fall subsurface feeding.

Crucial for targeting fish feeding just below the surface on vulnerable emerging BWOs during fall hatches.

When midge activity is strong subsurface, this weighted pupa pattern is effective for getting into the strike zone.

A classic fall hatch for selective trout feeding on emerging and adult BWOs in slower, softer water.

Opportunistic feeders will key in on these protein-rich patterns during fall spawning season.

Effective for aggressive trout looking for larger meals like leeches or baitfish as they bulk up for winter.

What changes on the water through the year, with the flies for each season.
