Water Conditions: Good the flows are at 26 cfs as of 11/8. Flows above should have been about 10 cfs higher all summer.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good it looks as if we might get some snow Friday, so this is good news as there are usually insane BWO hatches down there when the white stuff is falling.

DRIES: CDC Baetis DUN #20, Parachute Adams #20-22, Parachute Caddis #18-22, Profile Baetis #18-22 Brook's Hot Creek Caddis #18-20

NYMPHS: WD40 Black #20-22, Flashback Scud #16, San Juan Worm Red #14, BH Flashback PT #20, Olive or Grey Scud #16-18, , Grey Scud #16, Nori's Caddis Pupa Geen #18, Anderson's Bird of Prey Tan #20, Fox's Caddis Poopah Green #18

STREAMERS: Water isn't deep enough to really bother.

Guides Hint: Don't trust your indicator and shorten your drifts. Set on the slightest pause.
