Good

This river is fishing really good right now. With the continuing cloud cover and cooler weaterh the fish are starting to get into a pattern. You can expect to see BWO's, Callibaetis, Midges, Crane Flies, Tricos, and Caddis in the evenings. Skating a Stimulator or Crane Fly adult across the surface can be outstanding fun but hold oin because strikes are viscious. BWO's and Callibaetis will hatch during the whole day. Tricos and Caddis can be expected in the evenings and Midges hatch all the time. When there are no fish rising I would try a nymph under an indicator or a streamer. Crayfish and sculpins are great patterns to fish rigth now. Remember to be ready for all of these hatches because they din't happen all at once. Also keep in mind that the time for those browns to start spawning is getting closer everyday. Lets try and stay off the river in October, not because it is illegal but because it is unethical.
