Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good - Very Good

Crowded! Don't go out there and drive straight to your favorite "honey hole". Look for the open gates and talk to the people that are already out there. The big news is that the masses of Grasshopper Nymphs (the immature flightless grasshoppers) are starting to molt into adults so the Hopper action is picking up. The good news is that the dry fly action is picking up and if you just want action below the bridge is loaded with planters. The spawning Cutthroats and Rainbows are still scattered throughout the system but soon to be back in the lake. With the increase of hoppers even the big fish are starting to look up so it's not just the Hoppers but also Caddis and PMD's for dry fly action. The bigger fish and migratory planters tend to hold in the deeper holes so attractor patterns such as Prince nymphs, San Juan worms and egg patterns are working best.
