Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions:  Fair

Flows have dropped to 125 cfs as of  6/17

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.

With the low flows and warm day time temperatures it'starting to transition into a summer pattern of good fishing in the morning and the slowing down in the afternoon. 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.
