The Flows will be dropped to 350 cfs on October 30th.

Fishing has remained good in spite of the work being done on the dam.  Water clarity is good, and fish are looking to eat midges and baetis nymphs and dries, worms, and the occasional streamer.  Colder weather with rain is moving in, so flows could discolor for a day or so, but fishing should remain good through the late fall, even with dry fly fishing.
