Before the Hatch
What do you throw before the hatch this week, I would suggest you throw a stonefly pattern. With a little bit of high water in the area with all the rain. Your going to need a big profile to grab attention. With water temps coming back on the rise after the weekends cold front, stoneflies will be hatching (crawling out) and then laying eggs in the afternoon and evening. Twitch a big stimulator around before the mayfly hatch. You might be surprised who comes up and eats it. Check out Ed McCoy’s Stonefly Stimulator pattern in this video for an easy tie.
