Skwala

The first dry-fly event of the year. Drab olive stoneflies bring big pre-runoff fish to the surface while the mountains are still white.

Nymphs stage in soft margins late winter — fish an olive stone nymph shallow and slow.

One or two bugs is enough — fish remember. A low-riding olive dry along soft edges, fished patiently.
