A few reports over the past two weeks shows that the clarity is pretty good and you can pick up some fish on olive Wooly Buggers and midges. The flows are highly variable, note where the large rocks are to avoid them on the trip back down to the ramp. When the BOR does release water to generate power you will see current and the fish will key on midges, San Juan Worms and Baetis nypmhs like an olive S&M, Two Bit Hooker, or the BP Weiss Nymph.
