Flows and Water Conditions: Flows are on the skinny side and water temperatures are in the 60s

Clarity: Good

CFS: 48

Fishing Report and Conditions: Good

Fishing has been so good elsewhere that the guides have been avoiding the driving conditions. If you want to fish it, go now as water levels are dropping quickly. Fishing has improved with a good mixture of hatches. The mornings are seeing Midges, Caddis, small Golden Stones, and Yellow Sallies. Remember access is limited to Friday through Sunday with minimal services.
