Conditions
Water continues to drop into fall, pushing fish into deeper pockets and seams where subsurface presentations work best. As of October 16, flows sat at 617 cfs near Canyon Ranger Station with water temperature holding at 50 degrees. Nymphs and small streamers are your most reliable choice, though some afternoon dry-fly action may still appear when conditions cooperate.

Techniques
- Nymphs are still a dependable option, especially around boulders and faster pocket water
- As the river comes down, trout are likely to spend more time around deeper pockets, seams and areas with good structure
- Small streamers can also be effective through the deeper sections
