: Big Wood River: The Big Wood (229cfs) is flowing at an average level for this time of year and will provide the mobile angler with ample opportunities to hook the wild Rainbows that make this river their home. Nymphing is the most productive technique at the moment as Midges and Baetis make a showing, especially in the afternoon. Covering large stretches of water is the best approach. Dredging runs, holes and pockets with Pheasant Tail nymphs (size 16) trailed by subsurface midge patterns such as Brassies, Midge Pupae and Zebra Midges (size 18-22) is definitely the best tackle set up. It is also possible to catch fish on the surface during the latter portion of the day with Baetis emergers and duns as well as with Snowfly patterns dead drifted downstream. Anglers continue to find success in the lowest stretches of the Big Wood (above Magic Reservoir). Expect the Browns and Rainbows to hide out under obstructions such as log jams and drop structures as well as in the deepest pockets during daytime hours. Woolly Buggers and egg patterns will be best in the lower stretch of The Wood and you may be able to find some of the last monster fish before they head back to the reservoir for the winter.
