Water Conditions: Great the flows are at a constant at 23 cfs as of 2/9. THE SNOW IS LONG GONE BUT THE USFS HAS KEPT THE GATE CLOSED. IT IS A SHORT WALK FROM THERE TO THE CANYON SECTION. YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT OUT TO THE INTERPRETIVE SITE.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good to excellent for the canyon section. It is fishing similar to summer with smaller midges and baetis patterns suburface all day and moderate hatches midday. Once the water temp comes up about two degrees the food bell rings and it is downright good for 3-4 hours daily. Interpretive section has been worked and they are getting a little wiser - go real small.
