No recent reports, which could mean those that are fishing it are keeping it a secret! This is a midge factory and as we continue to edge into fall fish are looking for the small bugs. The best fly has been the dark BP Weiss Nymph, but #18 - 20 (ouch!) black Zebra Midges are also producing. For picky fish, you may have to tie on an X-May or S&M, but probably not. Fishing olive Sculpin patterns like the Slumpbuster on a sinking line can produce vicious takes.
