When honey ants show up on the river in the Harriman-Last Chance reach, fishing will really pick up. We cannot recommend the river below Ashton Dam as a great fishery until after Labor Day. The best fishing on the lower river now is between Warm River and Ashton. Try streamers, big nymph and rubber leg patterns under low light conditions. During day time hours slam (from a boat) or drop (while wading) hopper or hopper-like patterns beneath overhanging vegetation. Try the same with ant, adult cranefly and beetle patterns.
