Midge is fun

Ok the fishing in swan valley is ridiculous right now. I have been fishing from the Irwin slide to the bridge and chucking streamers, olive has seemed to work the best. The midge activity is incredible we are finding lots of fish in the 17 inch range on the surface, look in the slow foot deep water they are hard to spot but once you do it's on. Timing is difficult because the midge come off in waves through out the day we were seeing risers as early as 8 a.m. Oh and these fish do seem to be a little spooky. Anything black or olive size 20 is working but of course the griffiths gnat is better just harder to see in certain light. Good luck out there.
