Water conditions: Great

Flow: 45 CFS. This is a permanent flow required to be maintained by LADWP

Very clear conditions. Perfect practice for stealth casts and presentations.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:Excellent

Wide open has been the report from everyone who has hit the gorge lately.

The bite starts about 10:00 and goes until about 3 pm. I wouldn\'t say balmy but very pleasant temps in this natural heater daily. Same bugs are working but have your dry flies ready for the baetis hatch around 12:00-2:00.

Recommended Flies:

Elk hair caddis,parachute caddis,e/c caddis,hot creek caddis(olives,tans,browns)#18-#20sTricos-spinners/emergers#18-#22s.Medium size hoppers still working well(lighter tans and brown w/red)Droppers-poxy back baetis,wd-40s,kyles super flash p/t,beerhead baetis,micro brown stones)#18-#22s.Wooley buggers and leeches(small)Lots of little white frogs,try some lighter colors.
