Water Conditions: Fair as of 8/2 flows are up to 67 cfs above Grant Lake and at 33cfs Below.

Water temps in the uper 60's above Grant lake and even warmer down below 395.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good the flows are on the increase as DWP moves water around. This is good as it mixes things up a bit so you don't have to be as stealthy when approaching your fish.

Fish are very spooky down below the lake, but if you avoid scaring the fish, they're eating Caddis and small hoppers late in the afternoon.

Recommended Flies:

DRIES: Elk Hair Caddis #18, Royal Wulff #14-16, Kaufman Stimulator 16, Parachute Adams #16, Yellow Humpy #16, Royal Coachman #16, Rubber Leg Stimulator, Fat Albert #14, Chernobyl Ant #14

NYMPHS: Copper John #18, BH Prince Nymph #18, Stocker's BH Lightning Bug #18.
