The Funky Pan has seen a much anticipated bump in flows recently. The increased water has spread out the fish and the river has come alive. More shrimp are pushing through the dam, and the flats recently have fished very well. Midges and mayfly patterns are working throughout the entire river, with stones being good flies middle canyon downstream. Caddis larva have been good lower down as well, and the streamer fishing picked up as soon as the flows did. Up top has been crowded, but some nice fish are being caught on light tippets. The Fork is running dirty much of this month, sometimes adding pressure on the Pan. Try mysis, midges, and glow bugs for the big boys up top. Fish are holding in the soft depressions or deeper water of the toilet bowl and bend pool. Getting on the water early, moving slowly, and keeping a low profile are paramount when fishing the upper flats during low flows. Middle canyon and down has fished well with nymphs, and dries. Bigger bugs fish good with stones and caddis larva working well. During a hatch, try a downstream presentation on 6x with small midge emergers or BWO's. All reaches of the Pan are fishing good, and April is a good month to get out and try your hand at some selective surface feeders. Middle canyon down the fish are usually not as spooky, and they eat a wider variety of bugs.
