From the benchWith a major storm system rolling in today and flows likely to jump by Monday, your window is this morning — get on the water by 9 AM and focus on the slower inside seams and tailouts where pre-spawn browns are stacking ahead of the weather change. Set up a tight-line or indicator nymph rig with a heavier anchor fly (Frenchie or Rainbow Warrior) to get down fast in the 533 CFS flow, and trail a small BWO nymph or midge 12–18 inches behind it. As cloud cover builds through midday, watch for BWO activity in the flatter water and be ready to switch to a dry or emerger — overcast skies are your friend for surface action. If you're still on the water by early afternoon and the storm is moving in, drop down to a sculpin or egg pattern and probe the deeper slots; big browns get aggressive and territorial as barometric pressure drops.
