Conditions

Prime summer conditions have fish distributed through broken riffles, pocket water, and shaded structure. As of August 26, flows were holding steady at 603 cfs with stable conditions forecast. Yellow Sallies and caddis are delivering consistent action, and you'll find solid dry-fly opportunities especially during low-light hours, a dry-dropper rig is worth having ready to cover both surface and subsurface feeding.
