Rising/Falling 

Steady 

Fishing Conditions 

Flows have been steady and the water is clear, but fish are feeding good.

Bugs are on the menu.  Midge and baetis nymph rigs are a good setup to start.  However, you can expect midge and BWO hatches to come of late morning through the afternoon.

The ant fall happened early June already, so it would never hurt to have a few ant dries all summer.
