The single dry fishing has been great and fishing a chubby with a dropper is very effective as well. Fish the bubble lines and the banks. Nymphing very deep holes has been effective during the day as well.
Please respect all private property and fishing signs. At the corral on the Johnson Tuning Fork spot if the sign is up please find another spot to access.
