Water Conditions: Flow is holding just above 80 cfs as of 5/27.
Water is warming. Don't forget the section from Benton Crossing down to the monument is closed to all fishing through May.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good to Excellent
Spawners are on the move and hot spot moves almost daily, so don't waist a lot of time at any one spot. Think of it as Eastern Sierra steal heading, big fish headed up river. Midges, then Baetis then Caddis on warmer days.

NYMPHS: Black Zebra Midges, Hare's Ear, PT's, Copper Johns, San Juan Worms #18-#16s, Glo Balls
STREAMERS: Olive Wooly Buggers sizes #8-#12. Throw up stream and pull by the undercuts.
