Not an SRC expert but have been catching them almost every trip to the
Stilly over the past few weeks. Just swing a knudson spider close to the
bank or fish dry flies like you would for any old trout and you should
catch fish.
It seems to me there are a lot of SRCs already in the system as I have not
really been targeting them and catching good numbers. Am going to be
floating then Stilly in a couple weeks for SRCs and am really looking
forward to it.
