The river is currently open in all sections (including the campground area near the Benton Bridge) with some still having special angling and gear restrictions.?? The lower sections near the inlet are producing better results and overall larger fish than the Long Years or upper public area.?? Caddis and most may fly imitations #14-18 are getting takes while nymphing, caddis dries #18 on the calmer afternoons are best for surface activity.?? Streamer fishing here can be very productive in the deeper runs and pools when the free floating weed is not prevalent.?? This situation is more likely to pose a negative impact here in the next several weeks as the run-off will swell the river a little making presentation more difficult.
