Flying ants

Cooler nights and less daylight will help bring the lower river around to water temperatures more suitable for lower river trout to survive the rigor of catch and release. September is perhaps the most pleasant month to fish anywhere on the river. Fewer anglers are present.The fall mayfly emergence peak, PM caddis activity, and terrestrial insect (especially flying ants!) population make top water fishing wonderful. Presenting streamer patterns during low light conditions on the lower river, Box Canyon or the Tubs will become increasingly effective the further we move into autumn.
