Fishing Conditions

This is going to be one of the few river options for a bit as it’s a tailwater.

Expect nymphing to be the most productive.  Flows have been bumped so you may need a bit more weight, but less stealth now. Try out a Euro nymph rig, enjoy life, and have fun no matter where you are, right?
