Hatch Status

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

Conditions

Cooler weather is improving conditions after summer's slow period, with clear water holding steady around 93 cfs. Tricos are active early, shifting to late morning as the day warms; Baetis appear in the afternoon, with Callibaetis duns and spinners also active. Hoppers, ants, and beetles deserve attention when wind picks up. Flows and water temperature look favorable for the week ahead, though Kilpatrick Bridge closure through January affects east-side access and float-tube launching.

Gauges

Techniques

  • Nymphing is productive as usual with small Baetis, midge, or Callibaetis nymphs
  • Hoppers, ants, and beetles are all working, especially when the wind blows
