Hatch Status

Evenings at around 7-8 pm boast a great caddis and PMD hatch

Conditions

Flows have dropped to a manageable level well below the 618 cfs reported in early July, opening up genuine wading opportunities. Evening caddis and PMD hatches drive rising fish near sunset, and streamers produce on cloudy afternoons along structure and cutbanks. Heavy attractor nymphs, dry flies, and subsurface patterns all deserve a place in your rotation for this reach.
