Callibaetis duns and spinners will be the main fare in the afternoon

Conditions

Cooler weather is improving conditions after summer's slow period. Clear water holds at 93 cfs with stable flows and a water temperature of 67°F—prime conditions for late August. Expect Tricos early in the day, shifting to late morning as things warm; Baetis move to afternoon, with Callibaetis duns and spinners appearing. Hoppers, ants, and beetles become productive when wind picks up. Note that Kilpatrick Bridge is closed for construction through January 4, affecting access from the east side and float-tube launching.

Gauges

Techniques

  • Nymphing is productive as usual with small Baetis, midge, or Callibaetis nymphs
