Big Lost River, October 17th, 2020

Flow out of Mackay Dam is down to 51 cfs. This is really quite low for the river here and will concentrate fish into deeper water and make for easy wading.  BWO activity is ongoing during afternoons and hoppers are pretty much gone for the year. So resort to presenting BWO life cycle patterns and drifting small nymph and streamer patterns into the heads of deeper holes and runs.  Be ready for “brisk” weather.
