The flows on the river have been moving up and down a bit this past week and right now it’s running at about 117. Most anglers we’ve been talking to are getting into some fish down there but it’s overall been pretty tough with anglers only reporting around 1 to 3 or so fish for a half day of fishing. We still haven’t had much good news on streamers but the successful anglers we’ve spoken with have been getting some fish on nymphs and even a few on dries. We did hhave a couple fish reported on caddis nymphs so that’s pretty good news. It sounds like the stretch below the bridge has livened up this past week so those fish are probably liking some of that good riffle water down there. A few patterns to try include: blue dun, para adams, blue wing olive, chubby chernobyl, stimulator, Fox’s poopah, LaFontains deep sparkle emerger, z-wing caddis, psycho prince, perdigon nymph, silver streak, rainbow warrior, dark lord.
