Water Conditions:

The road is open and the shuttle service is in operation. You can drive in before 7am and after 7 pm.
Flows are still high, but are starting to taper. Water temps are slowly coming up. The best time to fish the river has been mid day into the afternoon, when temps are warmest and more bugs are coming off. Mosquito hatch in the evenings...watch out.

Fishing conditions and Hatches:

High flows with cold water from runoff are keeping most fish on the bottom, or in the slower backwaters and eddies. Fish will also be close to the bank, and along undercut banks, behind log jams, any where the flows are not so strong. We are seeing some Golden stones and BWO\'s , along with some caddis. As temps warm we should see more bugs on the water, but with the hatches being sporadic, try attractor patterns20like stimulators and humphs for drys, and a hares ear dropper.
Nymphing has been more productive with a big stone pattern trailed by a small mayfly pattern. Try streamers in some of the bigger deeper holes for bigger fish.
Hatchery truck was seen at stark weather but not sure if it is now continuing down to the river yet. Nice to have fish other than the natives for the campers to eat, plus they sure are fun to catch once they become a little more "naturalized".
