Water Conditions: Good, flows are at 110 cfs as of 6/26 in between Silver Lake and Grant Lake. The flows are at 34 cfs as of 6/26 below Grant lake and between Hwy 395.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Conditions are fair to good. Once again, dry fly fishing will be better in the wild trout section near the highway.

The general reg. section (between silver lake and grant lake) is fishing well. There is a lot more water in this section so nymphing and dead drifting streamers is recommended. FYI-DFG plant heavily in this section so a lot of conventional fishermen will be at this section.
