Water Conditions: Excellent

Flow is 59 cfs on 6/5
Creek is high but not dirty?Ķ if it rains in top of the snow again it will turn brown. Not a bad thing?Ķ We need another good flush of the "Creek" to bring back a healthy Stonefly and P.M.D.. population.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Extra Excellent

30 to 50 to the net is the word although Otis used the word "stupid".
There are solid hatches of midges in the am, followed by BWO's mid-day, along with Yellow Sallies a few P.M.D's and caddis by the afternoon (on Warm days). Some great dry fly opportunities!!
