Brule River Fishing Report

 4/23

River conditions have taken a turn towards the low side. Expect to bang alot of bottom if you fish with indicators. I switched to highsticken yesterday. Hooked a few small skipjacks and a 4 lb sucker. Not awhole lot in the holes and runs. Water is extremely low and clear. Hooked the steelies on soft hackles in 12's and 14's. Used the tanem rig method with a bigger stone as the point fly and the soft hackle as a dropper. Used a single #4 split shot. Saw a major blue winged olive hatch coming off around noon. Around size 18's. Cheers. "Drink good beer and fight fish" John
