Water Conditions: Great the flows are constant at 24 cfs as of 1/12. The water is still slightly off color due to increased runoff from, yes, melting snow, what little is left on Mammoth Mountain.

ZERO SNOW AND GATE IS OPEN SO YOU CAN STILL DRIVE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PARKING LOTS ABOVE THE CANYON SECTION.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: No change here . . . just stay a little smaller like 18's and 20's. Midges will work all day. With the warm temps the fish are biting earlier, like 9:30am. Start with midges, then go to baetis nymphs and dries if they start sipping on the surface.
