As if hinting at things to come, flows have fallen below 4000 cfs into the mid-3000 range, only a couple weeks before the proverbial faucet gets turned off in earnest.?? By September 10, the river will be low and wadable throughout, from Roza to Cle Elum and above.?? As flows continue to sneak down towards 3000 cfs and below, and especially once the "drop" occurs in September, "tight-to-the-bank" will become more the exception than the rule, as trout reclaim classic pool, pocket, run and riffle haunts.
Hoppers and Short-Winged Summer Stones continue to predominate, particularly during non-hatch periods.?? PMD's (early pm start) and Caddis (late afternoon to dark) continue to appear with varying intensity/duration from one day to the next, and are very well worth being prepared for.?? Once the water drops, start having a few Gray Baetis and BWO's along for good measure, as sporadic appearances for these two (early day, late in day) traditionally begin later in August, and by mid-September isolated feeders can be caught snacking on these mayflies.??
Fall is on our heels?Ķ.
