Fishing conditions: Poor
Report: It looks like they spilled some water from the reservoir and the gage at Ah-Di-Na is showing the flow is still over 800 CFS. The gage just above Ash Camp is showing just over 220 CFS, so there is probably a lot of runoff continuing. We would suggest caution if you venture over the saddle into Ah-Di-Na, these are very high flows. Most fish will fall to the small black offerings. Keep on your toes over this weekend as we have more storms on the way. 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.
