Water Conditions: Good the flows are at 20cfs as of 8/2. Water is very clear and low when compared to this time last year. There are weeds everywhere. Only a few pockets of deeper water here and there.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good there is still a decent Trico hatch around 7-9am, with some small mayflies mixed in later in the morning. Hopper dropper rig is the way to go with a small emerger or pheasant tail. Slap big hoppers on the far bank around mid-day when the hatches slow down.
Nymphing is getting tougher as the weeds grow in and the water drops.
