Fishing Conditions
Flows have just been bumped to above 700cfs, which is a fantastic wade or floating flow. Terrestrial fishing can be good this time of year with ants, crickets, and hoppers. Tie on a big dry fly and just see what happens before you go small.
Otherwise, midge hatches have been thick in the upper flats, and baetis nymphs and dries can be found from T-hole down.
BWO hatches below T-hole may be good, especially on cloudy or rainy days.
