The river is definitely clearing, the river temps are good and fish are definitely able to see well enough to eat flies. Smoke is impacting the area though, so keep that in mind if you decide to head up. Best offerings continue to be large, dark flies like a black Rubberlegs, a Dark Lord or black leeches. High stick the pockets and close runs, the fish should not be put off by your presence too much. I think fishing a cop car Dolly Lama with an intermediate line could give you a pretty good day right now.
