Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions: Good

Flows are at 248 cfs as of  67/1

The flows have dropped 50 cfs in the last 5 days.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:  Good-Very Good

The one change I've seen, the hatches have almost disappeared but the fishing is still very good. The only real downside is the heat but perfect for early starts and late finishes. The summer hatches should be picking up soon but until then big nymphs( Pheasant Tail, Hares Ears and Prince Nymphs) @12-14, some crane flies and midges. Key on the riffles and against the outside of the slow bends with terrestrials.
