If you fish the Last Chance-Pinehaven reach, your best bet for action is through terrestrial patterns. Mornings offer action from fish seeking spinners, but after that, prospect banks and channels between weed beds with hopper patterns.  This technique, although a bit uncertain, can be educating through learning favorite locations big fish move to for a meal.  Be sure to look for flying ants, because as Mike Lawson offers, fish really key on them during their presence, and even in their absence this time of year. Forget the river below Ashton Dam until we begin the late summer cool down.  Cardiac Canyon waters are best fished with terrestrial patterns or two nymph rigs.
