Water Conditions: Good the flows are at 38 cfs as of 10/3.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good we are not seeing very many fish in the mosquito flats area. Better to hike the trail a bit and fish the lakes along the way instead. Just be aware that the days are getting shorter so don't wait too long to hike out otherwise you'll be doing it in the dark.
