Dry Flies are often an excellent choice after a rain. From June through August, try #14 Dun Variants (grey bodied mayflies) and also keep an eye out for Blue Winged Olives as they love overcast days a love to hatch after rain.

ken r Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Like most things.....it depends. That said, dry fly /emerger fishing is the rule. Dredging is the exception. KilgoreTrout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloosfisher Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Beetles, hoppers, and ants get washed in from bank vegetation and overhanging trees. Good time for foam terrestrials. kype, BeachBum818, nchit and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inshore Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Largest trout I ever caught on a dry fly (BWO parachute size 20) was on a smaller stream with heavy canopy fishing during a downpour. Yea, drys will work… KilgoreTrout 1 "Only through movement will you achieve victory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepybk Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Rain keeps the wings of bugs wet. Therefore they stay on the water longer. They eat in the rain and after. KilgoreTrout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain and humidity. The higher the humidity, the longer it takes for wings to dry enough to take off. Especially mayflies.
