Flows here resemble late September, not early August. All sections are very accessible and if you are willing to hike away from the campgrounds. The dry fly fishing is very good using small mayfly or caddis imitations. Wade along the banks always casting upstream and focusing on the fish closer to you at the back of a pool. The pocket water and riffles are tough, just not deep enough in many of the normal locations.
