Flows are low but thanks to a few small storms that dropped some lower elevation snow and rain recently not too bad considering the dry year we have had.

Fall is the time to think small.?? The highlight of the dry fly season is the trico hatch.?? These tiny mayflies get the wild trout here stupid under the right conditions.?? #20-24 and 7X tippets are needed to fool the fish during the afternoon emergence.?? You will also see caddis and some larger baetis mayflies appearing.?? Dry dropper combos can be very deadly in the larger pools and runs.??
