Been fishing up there quite a bit the past few weeks. About a mile down from the dam on rt 31 there are several pullouts. You can also fish right below the dam but there have already been people there so I went further down.

There are some flat water stretches where you can count the browns and sight fish to them. They are pretty spooky. Do not get to close to the bank when you first start or the first thing you will see will be 1/2 dozen nice ones diving for cover. Oh and in the flat water 5x or 6x leaders long ones.

Careful about wading the slow water its very silted you can go a foot or two down in the silt.

Hot flies have been goddard caddis, elk hair caddis. and small hopper patterns. I have done all my fishing on dries. In a few side eddies midges were the only thing that worked.

In between the flat water stretches there is a lot of nice pocket water. If it looks 'fishy' cast something into it.

And check the weather forecast. The first time I went up two sundays ago I got there about 8:30 and there was frost on the ground. Luckily I had a extra jacket in the car.

Any attractor or terrestrial patterns will work this time of year, besides the caddis as previously mentioned. Some of my favorites there are stimulators or Wulffs. I also have good success with ants. You can always drop a size 16 hare's ear off of any of these and find success.

As mentioned, the fish toward the upper portion can be quite spooky, but the fish in the lower portion aren't nearly as spooked. Also, the biggest fish I have caught in that river has been on some of the stretches in the lower portion of the canyon.

I have done really well in the faster sections fishing a stimulator with a small #16 or 18 bead head maylfy nymph in darker colors. I used one made out of dark brown dubbing and magpie tail feathers, but I'm sure a pheasant tail would do well too. Caddis larva are always a good bet as well.
