Those of us watching and waiting for the brown trout run out of Lewis Lake will have to be patient - the Park will see very warm weather for the next few days.  The Lewis otherwise is still in her late summer pattern. 

Summer hatches have about run their course..   Dry-dropper and small hopper dropper combos will be useful during the day when there aren’t obvious hatches working, though a bugger with a small bead head nymph behind would also be a very useful rig to prospect with, and probably the way we would attack it ourselves.
 
PMDs are largely finished, though a friend saw a few fishing here late morning a few days ago.  Caddis (mostly after 2 PM), there are a few midges earlier in the day.  Fall hatches won’t be that far off.

We’re waiting like you are for the fall brown trout run out of the lakes - there are some very large fish (8-10 lbs) above the falls during the run every year.
