Water Conditions: Good

Flows are at 80 cfs as of  3/4

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:  Good

 Baetis hatches are getting stronger and go from about noon until 2 or 3. The best action has been from 10 or 11 until 2 or 3 and the middle of that has been very good. If you're looking for dry fly options keep moving, they tend to be holding on foam lines and tailouts.

Remember the colder the night before the further upstream you should start. Flows are now down to winter levels, making for easier wading and being able to reach more areas. Mornings it's midges, later in the morning a few caddis and BWO.

 The bigger Stoneflies are now hatching, don't expect to see many adults but it doesn't matter, the fish are looking out for them. We are also seeing a lot of the Grannom Caddis cases (the square sided case) which usually hatch for a couple of weeks somewhere between the middle of March and early April. This hatch only lasts for a couple of weeks but is very intense. This can be an incredible hatch that has not been very good for a couple of years but signs are this will be a good year. One thing about this hatch, it is extremely localized. I have talked to other guides who have been on the river at the same time only 4 or 5 bends apart and one has a great day and the other one sees nothing.
