The Lower O had a few off days before Memorial Day due to a substantial flow increase.?? The release is currently holding at 300cfs and we are told the water lords have no immediate plans of going up in the near future.?? Tougher wading but not too bad for this time of year and if the flows continue to hold for a couple of weeks you could see some great early morning and late afternoon action.?? Caddis imitations in both nymphs and adults #16-18 are best with a PMD hatch late morning.?? It is getting very warm down in the valley so you may want to hit this area in the cooler parts of the day for increased feeding activity.??

The drift boat sections took a hit with the flow increase for several days but have since improved and will continue to do so as the fish adjust to the new levels.?? Streamer fishing remains best in the lower sections of the river with the mid-day period being on the slow side due to the high sun angle.?? Loebergs and light Punk Perch and Agent Orange #10, #12 are very good.?? We suggest half day drift trips this time of year if you choose to be guided.?? This fall promises to be one of the best ever and we are thinking that by mid-late September conditions will be perfect for fall drift trips as opposed to last seasons blow out flows that did not recede until January.??
