General Information:Great! Flows are good on Pit 3, 4, and 5, and adventurous anglers have been doing very well in all three stretches, especially 3 and 4 which seem to be producing a lot of healthy, big fish. Some of the shallower stretches are starting to warm up, but this only concentrates the fish in the fast moving, aerated water and at the mouths of cold-water tributaries. There have been some mixed mayfly hatches and caddis in the evening, and increasing numbers of golden stones. Nymphing has been most productive, with stonefly nymphs and black A.P.s.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:High stick nymphing can be very productive here. As the water warms the best fishing can be found by skipping over the slower runs and concentrate on the riffles and areas with tributaries coming into the river. As with the other rivers in our area the best action will be early and late and slow during the hottest part of the day.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??Be ready for tough wading conditions when fishing this river. Flat ground DOES NOT exist here! A wading staff is highly recommended.... almost mandatory. Many bones (wrist, arm, ankle, leg) and fly rods (Sage, Loomis, Scott, etc..) have been broken here. Move slow, and keep solid footing while in the water. (But just in cast...pack some dry clothes, snake kit and don't forget to dry out your fly-box at the end of the day!)
