Conditions

Fish bite best in mornings and evenings when temperatures drop. Caddis, ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and PMDs are on the menu, so bring foam hoppers, Cloud 9 patterns, and small ants. As of September 4, flows have risen to 531 cfs and are still climbing, expect them to trend downward soon, so adjust your presentation for faster water.
