Small streams
Spring runoff is still going full throttle. Some of the smaller streams, however, are starting to show signs of clearing and becoming more fishable. If stream fishing is your thing, focus on the small streams and creeks.
The fish will be conserving energy by staying out of the faster water. Try drifting an egg or a small stonefly imitation through pocket water.
Look for the seams in the current where the fish can stay in slower water but grab their food as it drifts past in the faster current.
That faster current is like a food conveyor belt, but the fish will stay just to the side of it in slower water to conserve energy.
