Flows are now stable, and the water is very clear. I didn't make it down until around 11:30 today, but it was pretty slow until about 12:30 when I started seeing some caddis getting smashed on the surface. I couldn't buy a grab under the bobber so after the 2nd fish I saw jump, I switched up to a caddis dry. I tried a few different ones before I got a good look at one up close, and it was a definitive brown color. Changed up to a size 16 elk hair and bam! Nicest fish of the day on the first cast. He came up and ate a real one, and then turned and ate mine immediately after. Got a few more after that, and started seeing what looked like PMDs, didn't get to see any up close and didn't get any grabs when I switched to one, but then the wind picked up and I was getting a little hungry so I bailed around 2.
