Trout were rising on Meadowbrook Pond in Richmond yesterday.
On the Wood River, Ed Lombardo reports:
"After the last few days of rain, the river is high. It normally takes two to three days for the river to subside to what should be normal wading and dry fly action. This is a good time to fish down and deep with your favorite streamer or large weighted nymph. Leech patters, damsel fly nymphs, sculpins, large mayfly and stonefly nymphs are all good subsurface search patterns. Fish these imitations in deep pools and pocket water.
"A lot of rain will also knock many terrestrials into the water. Ants, beetles, and most important right now are the very prolific inchworms. These ants, beetles, and inchworms, although fished as dries, also work very well fished below the surface."
