The recent storm on Sunday blew the river on the top end, it is now coming down and should clear over the next week. Most fish will fall to the small black offerings. The overall winner was a dark BP Weiss nymph. Small, black nymphs would be the go-to method with good clarity this time of year, #18-20 Zebra Midges, X-Mays, and Perdigons will work best. Fishing tailouts with streamers like Barr's olive or black Slumpbuster or your favorite Sculpin will produce. Streamers can net a big Brown. 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.

• Pat's Rubberlegs
• Olive Hotspot
• Coppertop Duracell
• Sweet Pea - #16
• Copper John Red - #16
• Jigged Birds Nest - Natural, Hot Spot #14-16
