Ned here:

Water levels had been near 360 cfs over the weekend, which is a little low for my liking, but better than 1000. It rained all day yesterday and all the feeder creeks got blown out. Most are clearing out today, and the river is fishable.

Be careful wading, and only wade in areas of the river you know or with someone who does. 1000 cfs can be tricky. Be careful turning around.

What our guests are seeing:

Things are starting to change. Sulphur hatches are really slowing down. Everybody is talking about flying ants and they have been on the water the last several days, mostly sizes 20 and 22. There have been some 16 and 18 also. BWO, sizes 16-26, medium gray and dark wings. Try size 20 when you can’t see what the fish are rising to.

Some of our guests have been using olive wooly buggers, muddlers, and other olive streamers with great success. We have them in the shop.

Also have a few of these in your box:

ISO-Size 12

Tan Caddis-Sizes 16-18

Beetles-Sizes 14-16

Big Black Ants-Sizes 16-18
