Water Conditions: Fair the flows back up to 410 cfs as of 10/10.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: What a tease. Flows are back up over 400 again. But still hearing the fishing is good if you can find the slower water. Sporadic crane fly hatch in the AM, with small tricos and caddis early as well. Small mayflies in the afternoon til about 4. Keep a watchful eye for ticks and tuck your pants into your socks.
