Conditions
Floating and fishing mitigations are in place to protect spawning salmon through the outlook window—check with headquarters before heading out. Water temperatures sit at 74 degrees as of August 19, so plan early mornings and target cooler riffles or tributary mouths to avoid stressing trout during midday. Spruce moths fish well in the morning for dry-fly work, and hoppers will turn fish in the afternoon. Clear skies and rising pressure favor stable conditions through the week.
