Flows are 148 CFS. These are outstanding flows for January. Fish are pretty spread out and willing to take a fly. There are no travel issues and the roads are clear right now. If you can plan a cloudy non windy day on the L.T. you might run into some dry fly fishing. Midges and Baetis are in the system and are usually prevalent in the winter. Nymphing with lighter tippet like 5X and 6X are a good way to start. The water is cold and fish are usually in slower deeper water this time of year. You may find some fish in some of the riffles during any kind of a hatch. At 150 CFS fish will spend more time in side channels and near the bank away from faster currents as well.

The Tui chubs also prefer warmer water...... Read More
