Website
Water Conditions: Good
Flows are at 229 cfs as of 7/8
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good-Very Good
The one change I've seen, the hatches have almost disappeared but the fishing is still very good. The only real downside is the heat but perfect for early starts and late finishes. The summer hatches should be picking up soon but until then big nymphs (Pheasant Tail, Hares Ears and Prince Nymphs) @12-14, some crane flies and midges. Key on the riffles and against the outside of the slow bends with terrestrials. The Trico and micro caddis start around 6 and the Trico spinner fall starts around 9. The water is getting warm so early is better, evenings have been a lot less consistent.
