Summer 2008 Fly Fish'n Conditions

Still on the high side and too hot for me down in the valley most days, but I suggest you plan a trip beginning around Sept. here as the conditions will be better than last fall early. We do more nymphing and dry fly fishing in the fall and the numbers can be silly good. It should be killer through early December this year using the "dip and strip" with streamers as the water cools and we roll into winter hunting for monster rainbows and browns. The wild trout section has a fence around it and there is talk about more fencing to prohibit vehicles on other sections of the river as well due to the rash of man made fires in recent years. Flows are too high to wade here right now but there is plenty of water to fish from the banks in the evenings and early mornings. PMD's at coffee time, caddis around beer thirty!
