Seasonal clues

Seasonal guidance, not a current hatch report.

November

Read the season.

Shorter days and changing weather can shift feeding windows. Avoid spawning beds and match the legal season to the exact river section. Check the fishing rules above and below the falls separately. Clear spring water does not mean every site is accessible or open on the same terms.

Match what you observe.

Midges, mayflies and caddis can guide small-fly choices. A careful approach and drag-free drift come before a longer cast.
