The access into the lower section north of 299 is still closed, you can hike in from the county park right on 299. We'll have a few showers this weekend, but this could be the spark that lights the fuse on the early season hatches. Caddis are really beginning to come off in droves, some Grannom and a lot of the small black Brachycentrus up on the Powerhouse 2 Riffle. #16 - 18 Dark Missing Links, and the Lower Sac LaFontaine will work well. Lower in the spring creek section look to fish Baetis / BWO patterns and midges. Be prepared for anything as the days are getting longer and things are warming up. The Powerhouse Riffle will begin to see some larger fish stacking in, don't forget to use a Rubberlegs as this section regularly has Salmonfly larvae moving around in it.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
