A couple of anglers have reported you can get into Ah-Di-Na, use caution if you do as falling trees could still be an issue. Water conditions are great on the top end with good clarity and the flows from the reservoir at 200 CFS. Smaller BWOs and midges will be the primary insects coming off. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. To target the largest Browns, the olive and natural Slumpbusters stripped or swung have been paying off. We'll be looking for the lengthening days when the sun begins to warm the valley and we can look forward to Salmonflies and Green Drakes. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Chris or Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
