Dry-fly fishing can be productive during hatches, while nymphing is effective year-round. A local tip: be prepared for challenging wading conditions, as the river can be swift and rocky. Also, check the current fishing regulations, as catch-and-release restrictions are in place in certain sections. The Brown Trout in this area are known for their vibrant colors and aggressive strikes. Focus on riffles, runs, and pools, and don't be afraid to experiment with different fly patterns to find what the fish are biting on.
