Big Lost River, October 11th, 2022

Flow out of Mackay Dam has been constant at around 180 cfs for at least a week. So wading is relatively easy and water conditions stable. Weather features crisp, cool AMs with some frost and sunny, bright afternoons. BWOs, midges, a few remaining hoppers and other terrestrial insects make top water fishing attractive during afternoons. Certainly presenting traditional nymph patterns and small woolly bugger and rubber leg patterns will be effective any time of day.
