Hatch Status
Expect to find sporadic Spruce Moths and a few small mayflies in the morning, as well as hoppers clicking throughout the day.
Conditions
Flows are expected to remain below normal and continue falling through the week, with water holding around 71°F—warm enough to stress trout during afternoon hours. Floating and wade fishing from Stanley to Clayton should stay viable, though early morning and cooler pockets near riffles and tributary mouths will be your best bets. Spruce moths, hoppers, and small morning mayflies will drive sporadic insect activity, so have a mix of dries and nymphs ready.
