Flows are up with the warm weather but not by a whole lot. Weeds are already out of control and with water temps already in the 60s it's going to get interesting this summer. This could be at or near peak runoff but we'll have to wait and see after this cold front blows through. We'll know by the end of next week when Mammoth starts to see temps in the 70s. The fish are still playing hide and seek, and they're doing a pretty damn good job at hiding. Try as I may, I just cant see them. That may be either a product of age, or the fact that they're so far embedded in the weeds that nobody would be able to see them. I'm not gonna lie, the fishing here isn't spectacular. The hatches I've seen are sporadic and weak with a few BWOs and larger Caddis showing up but not in any great numbers. Only managed a handful of fish here in the afternoon on a full day trip so I think your time is better spent elsewhere for the time being.
