Fishing Conditions

Above Lemon, flows will be low and fish spooky.  Be ready for sneaky presentations with smaller flies and light tippet.

Below Lemon, the flows are a bit up still, even though they were just recently dropped a little.  Dry/Droppers, nymph rights, Euro rigs, and streamers will all find some fish.  Watch for hoppers and other terrestrials.
