Fishing Conditions 

Flows are falling quickly, and the river is clearing up.  Fishing should be pretty good with caddis and stoneflies coming off.  Nymph rigs will still be the best bet, but it’s about time to start throwing dries too.  Dry/dropper setups with a stonefly dry and nymph or caddis pupa/emerger will be a fun time.
