The storm on Monday bumped the flows a little, at Ash Camp they are 240 CFS and are 550 CFS and dropping at Ah-Di-Na. The color is super nice, good visibility throughout. With longer days and warming weather we should begin seeing some insect hatches happening. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. Some smaller stoneflies should be coming off and when it's warmer you could see some early larger mayflies as well. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
Hot Flies:
• Morrish's Adult October Caddis
• Pat's Rubberlegs
• Mercer's Tungsten October Pupa
• Olive Hotspot
• Coppertop Duracell
• Sweet Pea - #16/
• Copper John Red - #16/
• Jigged Birds Nest - Natural, Hot Spot #14-16
• Walt's Worm
