Water Conditions: Good the flows are at 26 cfs as of 11/8. Flows above should have been about 10 cfs higher all summer.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good it looks as if we might get some snow Friday, so this is good news as there are usually insane BWO hatches down there when the white stuff is falling.
