A flash of the underbelly right after the hook set or even during the take reveals the answer - if you see red, it’s a brookie. Silver, it’s a rainbow. This is a great time of year. The sun doesn’t set until after 8PM. Even when you’re deep in the woods, in a stream valley, there’s still plenty of time to fish after dinner. It’s warm enough for shirt sleeves but not too sweaty. You can fish below the surface but they’re taking flies on top now too.
