Conditions
At 13,100 cfs at Lower Granite, flows are beginning to normalize and some holding water is becoming easier to cover with lighter tips and lines. This is a good time to keep moving and work multiple pieces of water methodically. Focus on inside corners, broad tailouts, current transitions, and softer lanes adjacent to the main current where traveling fish tend to stack. Coverage remains productive if you're willing to cover ground and adjust your presentation to changing water conditions.

Techniques
- Inside corners, broad tailouts, current transitions and softer lanes next to main current all worth checking for traveling fish. With less water in river, some spots become easier to cover with lighter tips and lines.
