River update, July 11

We are still getting questions about hex flies, but that train has pretty much left the station.  There could be a flare-up or two with the warmer weather, but heading out in search of hex is probably a fool's errand at this point (although, of course, it doesn't hurt to have a few in your fly box).

A better choice would be the ever-present isonychia, light cahills, olives, and stoneflies.  A Michigan skunk will be a good choice also, as the temperatures rise.  For nymph action, try a zug bug or prince nymph. 

As always, be mindful of the water temperatures.  Extreme caution should be exercised with our Trophy Water fish when the water temperature exceeds seventy.
