Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions: Fair, showing 6 cfs as of 10/9

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

The PMDs are done. The BWO are starting mid to late morning. There are still a few Hoppers around. The Tricos are fading with the female emergence around 8 and the spinner fall 1-2 hours later. Caddis migration starts about 9 a.m. with the emergence starting late afternoon. The Caddis can range from a #14 to a #30 (no that's not a typo) so don't be afraid to experiment, including "skating" the bigger ones. The male Tricos are emerging from about 5:00 until dark. The best dry fly action starts about 9 and includes light colored midges, BWO's and caddis size 20-24.
