Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions:  Fair

Flows have dropped to 130 cfs as of  6/11

Water temperatures mid 60s midday

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Fair to Good

Nothing new to report  besides look to the riffles and not so much  in the deeper holes.

The Algae bloom in the reservoir has been bad and with the strong winds lately the river has been pretty soupy. The fishing has been better midday until dark. The hatches have been sporadic with midges being the strongest but also some PMDs, Golden Stones and Caddis. Not a lot of surface activity, the best being the last couple of hours of light.
