Water Conditions: Good. Warm weather continues but the runoff has slowed to about 93 cfs as of 6/24 counting the spring.

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Good to excellent. Midges and Baetis are still coming off but high flows make for difficult presentations. Guides and better anglers are scoring some excellent fish. fish don't seem as wary at higher flows when they can't see you as well.

Recommended Flies:
DRIES: #16 to 18 Parachute Adams, or Brooks Sprout Baetis. CDC Baetis paterns #18. Gray Caddis patterns late.
NYMPHS: #20 Flashback Optimidge. #18-20 MicroMay or RS2's.. Late go with La Fontaine's Caddis Sparkle Pupa and Gallitan's Pupa in size 20. #16-18 Flashy Scuds, all colors.

STREAMERS: Try streamers early and late.
