I have actually heard about some tougher days on the Midd recently. Normally productive water has slowed. Might be all the sediment from the construction on 125. It is running very clear right now, so be stealthy. Same game, light tippets, small flies. You will find better action in lower light, morning and evening, based on the spooking factor of the fish in the Midd. Upper should fish well with dries all day. The lower Midd can be a wild place in the Fall, with shots at some monster browns. Move slow and be observant.
