Good reports from anglers fishing the section downstream of the Hwy 299 bridge with some Golden Stones and Caddis coming off in the faster water sections. Dead drift and swing Bird's Nests, Fox Poopahs, and Bubblebacks in size 14. Callibaetis will be found in the slower sections between the Powerhouse 2 Riffle and the 299 bridge. Trico spinner falls in the morning on the flats will have you finding fish rising in the seams just off of the weed beds. For the Tricos, a CDC Trico Spinner or the Drowned Trico work well. Keep your eyes open for Yellow Sallies as these can be found throughout the system. Nymph-wise, the BP Weiss nymph, X-Mays in #18, or Sweet Peas are great to have along with some Peaches n' Green. Hat is great this time of year!

Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
Pheasant Tails
