Mormon Girl, an almost forgotten streamer pattern from Jackson Hole

Flow out of Palisades Dam has been constant for a week: about 2800 cfs at Irwin, 3600 cfs at Heise, and 1500 cfs at Lorenzo. On a windy day, like today, expect a reduction in numbers of mayflies hatching. It makes no sense to do so if they are blown away before finishing the task of mating and laying eggs! So switch to such as rubber leg, fly rod jigs, and streamers until the wind dies down.
