Hatch Status
Evenings are still producing PMD's and BWO's, with some Caddis mixed in, mostly smaller fish rising.
Conditions
Floating season brings crowds and heat stress to this reach. Water temperatures climbing into the upper 60s are suppressing afternoon feeding, especially for smaller fish. As of August 26, flows were holding steady around 722 cfs. Fish early morning or target cloudy stretches near structure and cutbanks with streamers to avoid the worst of the day. Evening brings PMD, BWO, and Caddis activity—your best window if you can navigate the float traffic.

Techniques
- Heavy, attractor nymphs are still the way to go.
- Streamers can also produce fish on cutbanks and near structure, especially on cloudy and overcast days when the pressure is lower and temps are cooler.
- Morning fishing is the way to go as afternoon water temps has practically shut the feeding down.
