Flow Rates and Water Conditions:

Water Conditions: Good

Flows are not accurate due to icing , OR , they just rebuilt the shed at the weir so it might be down for some time.

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

The hatches have been reduced to just midges but also try scuds, case caddis and small mayfly nymphs. Fishing has been good and if you drive down into the canyon it will be less crowded, but if you're looking to fish dries you're better off at the interpretive site. The road is snow free and the trails have some snow on them.
