Mid-afternoon is the best time here in early winter. You might encounter some blue-winged olive hatches in November on warmer, overcast days, but clear, cold weather will shut them down. Early in November you might also find the remains of the October caddis and mahogany dun hatches.

Mostly, however, streamers are the best choice. Black Zonkers, Egg Sucking Leeches, and Woolly Buggers are effective, as are Muddlers.

Because this is a cutthroat river, trout will move toward the lower end (closer to the lake). You'll probably find them in deeper pools below Pritchard.

For more on November tactics and flies, see the Rivers in General report.
