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.

Gauges

Techniques
