Water Conditions:

Flows are holding steady around 174cfs as of 5/15. It is always a good idea to check the flows before fishing the Lower 'O'.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

Fishing has remained solid even with the ebb and flow of water. The Mayflies have tapered off with caddis taking over. The best fishing has been mid morning with drowned pupa and emergers. If you fish drys you may want to trail an emerger . Streamer fishing is still good when the bugs are down.

Recommended Flies:

-NYMPHS-
#18-20 WD-40 in Black or Grey, #18-20 Zebra Midge, #18 Copper John in Green or Black, #18 Pheasant Tail, #16 Prince Nymph,#18-20 Surface Emergers, #18-#20 HBI,s,#18 Olive Bird Of Prey

-DRIES-
#18-#20 Tan Elk Hair Caddis ,#18 Paracute Caddis, #18 Parachute Adams, #20 Hot Creek Caddis

-STREAMERS-
Strip Punk Perch or Black Woolybuggers just outside the suds line if driftng

Guides Hint: Try a Crane Fly larvae imitation like a Buckskin Caddis mid morning.
