The flows continue to be stable down here and the water is crystal clear, or as clear as this river gets. The last few days had the fish relocating to the softest water in shallow and sandy banks. It made for a tough bite and some spooky trout, but they have since resettled in their normal winter holds. Smaller streamer patterns with minimal flash have been working best on the bright and sunny days, then switching to dark colors on cloudy days has been the key. Lots of fish have been holding tight to the bottom, so getting those flies down makes all the difference. We have been enjoying some windless days of 50 degree weather and not seeing another angler on most days!
