Water Conditions: Great the flows are at 110cfs as of 5/25.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent! The flows have been pretty consistant the past two weeks, between 100 and 120cfs. The constant flows are usually pretty good for the fishing as fish get in a routine and tend to hold in the same places. The water is still fairly clear compared to what it usually is. Same fare, Midges and Caddis with a mayfly here and there. Not hearing much in the way of streamer activity.
