The fishing on the Upper is very good with good dry fly especially in the evenings! Flows have dropped and are between 300 & 350 CFS at the Delta gage, the water temps down low are between 65 & 70 F. We recommend fishing up higher above Simms. The Yellow Sallies and Golden Stones are beginning to come off as are Caddis. The #12-14 Poxyback GS Biot Yellow Stones, Jigged Bird's Nest, Red Copper Johns, and the large #14 RK's Sin City are all good flies right now. Keep your Elk Hair Caddis, some big and small Adams and Simulators available for the evenings.
