The river comes up quickly and just as fast clears and fishes well. Try your sculpin patterns near the bottom. There are definitely October Caddis coming off in the upper reaches of the river, swinging pupa patterns should be on your technique checklist. Also, Blue Wing Olives and midges will continue to be good producers, Sweet Peas, Zebra Midges, S&Ms are working well in the mornings. Watch the weather and when you come up, be prepared to move higher into the system to find good water.
