Water Conditions:

Flows are holding steady around 185 cfs as of 5/21. It is always a good idea to check the flows before fishing the Lower 'O'.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

Fishing has remained solid with the hot weather. The Mayflies have tapered off with caddis taking over. The caddis hatch is solid mid morning. If the wind stays down there should also be a great evening migration. The best fishing has been mid morning with drowned pupa and emergers. If you fish drys you may want to trail an emerger . Streamer fishing is still good when the bugs are down.
