Water Conditions:

Flow has been holding at about 128-134 cfs and the water is clear and extremely cold.

A couple of feet of new snow will prevent access unless you are gung ho.

Don\'t forget the sections above the ranches and from Benton Crossing down to the monument is closed to all fishing.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Poor

Bite has gone to zero. Six local hot shots got blanked two days ago. Brutal.

The water temp is lower than 39 degrees and since there will always be water at 39 degress on the bottom of Crowley, guess where the fish have all headed.

Recommended Flies:

Dries: Para Adam, Stimulators in sizes#18-#20s

Nymphs: Hare\'s Ear, PT\'s, Copper Johns, San juan Worms #18-#16s

Streamers- Olive Wooly Buggers sizes #8-#12. Throw up stream and pull by the undercuts
