Flows are holding at 170cfs. Super fine for July, they will go up soon-so get it while ya can! We have had some fun trips drifting half days with an early start. It is just too hot by noon in the OV. Loebergs have been the hot ticket using the "dip & strip" method with a moderate sinking tip line. Good caddis and small mayfly activity early, the heat shuts the hatches down by late morning. Wet wading the wild trout section has also been good. Fish the low light periods. Great dry fly here now during the hatches.
