Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions: Fair to Good, showing 17 cfs as of 7/2

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good 

Nothing's really changed except the crowds are getting bigger and the Trico's are just beginning. Maybe it's the pressure or the flows dropping but it's getting a little tougher. Same hatches but the late morning PMD hatches have picked up considerably and the Hoppers are starting to show. First thing it's Midges and Caddis followed by PMDs and then Sallies. Early afternoon has been the slowest with it picking up late afternoon into evening especially if the wind stays down. The Caddis can range from a #14 to a #22 so don't be afraid to experiment, including "skating" the bigger ones.
