For resident Silvers:

In the winter through early spring my catch ratio is higher (25 to 1) with zooplanton patterns than baitfish patterns. In April, the fish tends to be very selective on zooplanton.

The turn to bait full time normally occurs in late May/early June.

As far as Cutts, I like a dark (mottled effect)inverted Muddler fished down around the rocks or a small herring tube fly tied with Artic Fox and peacock Angel Hair.
