Brian was out on Saturday and had a great day, caught several fish, one over 20 inches. When the Midd is high it fishes very well. All the action was underneath. Some on Nymphs and some on streamers. Goldens continue to be very active on all Addison county water, where they are applicable. Wherever they are the trout are too. I would expect the water to back to low and clear by Monday. Then you'll be back to clear water tactics smaller flies and lighter tippets. Watch the temps on the river if we do not get anymore rain. Look closely for fish that were moved into different locations with the high water.
