The river has been better than ever. Lots of fish and some really nice ones already in the river. Fish are starting to stack up at the mouth and in the channel in Crowley, as they prepare for the fall migration! Smaller nymphs and dry flies are getting the job done. There is still a healthy grasshopper population flying around, but this may deteriorate here soon with the coming cold front.

Best Flies: Stimulator – 12, 14, 16; Crystal Copper Tiger Midge – 16,18; B100FB – 14, 16, 18, 20; Spruce a bu dark and light; Loeberg Mallard Silver; Loeberg Guinea Silver, Crystal Midge Pupa Black – 18; Crystal Chironomid Emerger Copper – 16, 18; Broken Back Copper Tiger Midge – 14,16,18.
