Dorsey also states that the warmer periods of the day will see increased activity.

“Concentrate your efforts in the slow, deep pools. Typically midday, you will see some fish move into the transition areas where the riffles dump into a mid-channel shelf,” he said. “You’ll have a couple of good hours when the fish are really feeding on the pupa. It can be really productive between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.”

The best way that the fishing can be summed up at Deckers is “pretty cut-and-dry,” according to Brennan.

“All I know,” he said, “is that when we take people out fishing, we catch a bunch of fish!”
