Water Conditions: Good the flows are at 34 cfs as of 7/17 below Grant lake to hwy 395. The flows are at 30 cfs as of 7/17 in between Silver Lake and Grant Lake.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fishing at Rush Creek runs from fair to good. This is the time of the year we all dread. The run off is a about to taper off, so the water temps are increasing. It will be good in the cooler time of the day. Dry flies will work best. Really hit the undercut banks in the general reg section of Rush Creek (between Silver lake and Grant Lake).
