Fishing conditions:  Great

Report: The wild fish section through Ash Camp is fishing great. Clarity is excellent throughout the system and as weather stabilizes over the next few weeks we will see increased hatches coming off. Perdigons, Frenchies, Rubberlegs and the RK Sin City are good flies. Look for Green Drakes to come off later this week when we get the stormy weather. The Salmonflies will be hatching shortly, so keep your eyes open and a Chubby Chernobyl tied on if you are fishing dry-dropper. Fishing tailouts with streamers like Barr's olive or black Slumpbuster or your favorite Sculpin will produce. Streamers can net a big Brown. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
