Summer heat has warmed the river such that evenings and mornings make for the best fishing anywhere.   Mayflies now play a relatively minor role in trout diets.  Expect this to be the case until we begin cooling off near the end of summer.   Most reliable exception would be trying terrestrial patterns in front of shaded banks, overhangs, undercuts, etc.  Streamers presented in the evening after sunset will be an increasingly effective option several places along the river anywhere big bows and browns reside.
