The Lewis River is still slowly making the transition to fall, and there are now reports of browns moving into the channel and river, though not in great numbers. 

The report is basically the same as last week in terms of the best approach at this point.

Your approach now will be as much dependent on the weather as anything else. 

On the cooler mornings and evenings of a sunny day, we’d probably start with a streamer, streamer / nymph, or double nymph set up to prospect with, and either converting to a dry rig if there are obvious hatches, or consider an attractor / dropper set up.  Terrestrials are probably done given the cooler nights of late, take the box but you probably won’t use ‘em. 
 
In terms of the fall hatches, on the cooler days BWO/baetis will be increasingly prominent; midges (18-22) and caddis in the evenings will be on tap through September and the first weeks of October.
