The best chances at fish on the top end on the Powerhouse 2 Riffle will be in the morning prior to the sun peeking over the horizon and towards dark. With the Salmonfly hatch in the rearview mirror, you may be able to get some to eat a dry, it's worth a shot. Fish are coming to Rubberlegs and Perdigons below 299. More assorted mayflies are coming off on the top end in the Powerhouse 2 Riffle area along with Yellow Sallies with some Trios showing in the flats below. In the riffle, Rubberlegs, UV or Iron Sallies, and the correctly sized Pheasant Tail will work. This is a spring creek, a full box of Adams in #12 - 18 and dark Missing Links in #14 - 16 should have you covered for any noses poking up.
