Flows are at 30 cfs as of 7/22.
The river is back down with no real chance of substantial rain in the future.
Fishing conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good
Sorry but it's that time of the year that fishing conditions are going to get a lot tougher. Lowering flows and heavy pressure mean it's time to start hiking. With the flows back down and the temperatures high the fishing is better mornings and evenings. First thing in the morning it's midges and caddis size #18-24. Around 10 some PMD's #16-18 start emerging sporadically. Fishing has been best between 9 and 1. The rain helped a lot but we've reached the point that if we don't get weekly rain it's going to get too skinny to be worthwhile. As far as the evenings go, I'm not getting any reports.
