Water Conditions: Okay

The runoff has started big time with the recent very warm weather.
Flow is up to 92 CFS as of 5/21 and the water is muddy.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent

There are solid hatches of midges in the am, followed by BWO's mid-day and caddis by the afternoon (on Warm days), but the dry fly action is tough due to tubid water. Go bigger and brighter with nymphs. The positive side is they can't see you and they are not under the grass hiding where you can't get you fly to go.

Recommended Flies:
