The area is receiving quite a bit of pressure in the Powerhouse 2 Riffle area, you may want to explore further downstream/north to find some solitude. Mostly the fish in the flats are eating midges and some PMDs, and in the riffle there are some Yellow Sallies and Grannom Caddis happening here and there. Further downstream above the 299 bridge has a lot of Salmonflies and now Golden Stones coming off and ovipositing. Fish the shallow, fast riffles with a Rogue Stone in Salmonfly, or a #8 brown Chubby Chernobyl. You can also keep your eyes open for Caddis coming off in the lower river sections. In the Powerhouse 2 Riffle, some Salmonflies are coming off along with more and more Yellow Sallies.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
