Fishing conditions: Good
Report: The river is in good shape with flows down by the lake with flows around 350 CFS. Temps on the low end are approaching 65 F, so fish early to ensure you won't harm fish and carry a thermometer. Golden Stones, Yellow Sallies and PMDs are coming off. Bring your favorite salmonfly or golden dry and fish towards dark for best topwater action. Midges are always a good idea to fish. Caddis should be popping soon. Always have Rubberlegs, Perdigons, BP Weiss Nymphs, Poopahs, Zebra Midges and Bird's Nests to round out your offerings. The Upper is ready to go!
