Flows have come down to excellent levels now at 236 cfs. This has opened up more access areas along the mile section and below. Do not get the wrong idea though, as some area are still swift crossing sections so be smart about it. The fish are starting to get into a stronger mid-day feeding pattern. The water is starting to cool slightly and moving the fish around more. Try nymphing with perch fry and leech patterns in the deeper areas. The evenings can be good too with some bigger streamer patterns.

Best Flies: B100FB – 18, 20; Crystal Copper Tiger Midge -16; Crystal Zebra Midge – 16, 18; Punk Perch Light and Dark – 14, 16; Parallel Punk Perch Light and Dark; Crystal Leech – 12, 14, 16; Agent Orange 12, 14, 16; Parallel Agent Orange – 14.
