Conditions

With 620 cfs at Lowell, the Selway is holding comfortable levels for riffles, pockets, deeper runs and softer seams. Fish are concentrating around structure, depth and steady current as fall conditions solidify. Terrestrials still work during the warmest part of the day, but nymphs and small streamers are the primary play now. Dry-dropper rigs will cover both the terrestrial window and subsurface opportunities.
