Conditions

Route 255 reopening via Hoodoo Pass is bringing this water back into play with reduced angling pressure. As of September 11, flows were running 783 cfs and rising, with water temperature holding at 58 degrees, prime conditions for fall fishing. Terrestrials remain effective, and emerging fall patterns like October Caddis and mahogany duns are worth throwing alongside traditional summertime offerings.
