Drakes have come & gone  everywhere on the river. On the Harriman-Last Chance reach mornings and evenings offer the best fishing with PMDs in decreasing sizes (bring life cycle patterns in #18-#22) providing daytime action, then flavs bring evening action.  Hoppers are not significant yet, but ant and beetle patterns will bring action anywhere on the river. So will evening caddis flights.  On the middle and lower river, a few golden stones can still be seen, but sallys are more numerous, so medium and small stimulator and dry muddler patterns will work well.   Likewise, no hoppers of significance yet, but ant, beetle, and PMD life cycle patterns can bring action.  Don’t overlook streamer patterns if you will be on the river during evenings.
