Flows are at 50 cfs as of 6/24 and coming down fast, the time to hit it is now

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Good

Fishing has been good from about 8:30 to 1 then slower until late afternoon when it picks back up. I'm going to sound wishy-washy but there's incredible diversity in the food available. First thing in the morning it's midges and caddis size #12-18. Around 10 some PMD's #16-18 start emerging sporadically. All afternoon there are off and on hatches building into the evening. Big caddis, mayflies #12-18 with some stoneflies #8-16. Mornings until midafternoon nymphing is best after that the dry fly action picks up.

Dries: Elk Hair Caddis #12-18 | Para Caddis #14-20 | Sparkle Flag PMD #16-18 | Lawsons Thorax PMD #16-18 | CDC Flavilenea Dun #12-16

Nymphs: B/H Flash Back Pheasant Tail #14-18 | Tungsten Black Beauty #20-22 | Nori's Caddis #18-22 | B/H Prince #10-20 |Hogan's S and M Nymph #18-22 | Anderson Bird Of Prey #10-16
