Flows at Delta are just above 340 CFS and the water temps are cold, right around 45-48 F! The fish are there, and the coming storm will bring more up from the lake. This storm will likewise bump the flows quite a bit, so venturing up towards Dunsmuir will be the ticket to find suitable water. Fish midge pupae and Blue Wing Olive nymphs. Soon fish will be susceptible to sculpins in the riffles, bring your streamer or trout Spey rod and some Slumpbusters.
