I used to fish it extensively, well downstream of where you were. Haven't fished it in a couple of years, though.

Tips? Their stockies. Browns and bows. Egg patterns for the bows and streamers/buggers for the brownies. Will do better on bows in April, browns in May. Stream starts to get too warm in June, and becomes smallmouth water. For those, use crayfish.

Hatches are improving. Mostly caddis, but the major mayfly hatches are gaining steam. If fish are rising steady, fish dries...

I've seen a nice brown drake hatch there at the end of May before.
