[size 3]The stream is pretty much getting back close to normal now. It's up ever-so-slightly, is just a tad "milky", and it's still fairly fast (that's not a bad thing, though, as it means a good flow is coming out of the spring now).[/size]

[font "Arial"][size 3]We're starting to hear more and more about top-water fishing (listen up, all you dry fly enthusiasts), and for many, the conditions are now just about how they like it to be.[/size][/font]
[size 3] [/size] [center][size 3]What's Working Best?[/size][/center]
[size 3]Following are our #1 picks, based on what we've been told by anglers so far this week:[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Jigs: Black & yellow - hands-down favorite for first thing in the a.m. ,and other times of the day are working well too.[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Mini jigs: White Floss (it's on our favorites list a lot of times, but it's been especially good the last week or two. It's called "floss", because it's tied with 2 strands of white embroidery floss. In addition to the ones we normally carry with white painted heads, we now also have some with gold-plated heads, and these have really taken off the last couple of days).[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Glo balls: Flame or Chartreuse w/Flame (tie). Or as one fisherman put it when racing up to the counter and grabbing a handful of the chartreuse w/flame glo balls the other day, "give me some of those babies, quick! They're killin' 'em!"[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Other: Still the "Bumblebee" Rooster Tail.[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Dry flies: Renegade (especially the bigger size, #12, skipped)[/size]
[size 3] [/size]
[size 3]Nymph: Another repeat, the copper-body Copper John. [/size]
[size 3] [/size]Zone 3: Orange Power Bait
