Dropped and steadyFlows have been dropped to about 350 and the water clarity is getting better every day.  Fishing has also been great with bug hatches.  Midges and baetis have been more active and fish are moving to eat.  Nymph fishing will be primary, but it never hurts to have a few dries, especially on cloudy days with Baetis. The morning streamer bite has been pretty solid too.Midges 20-26: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Tav’s Big Mac, Bling Midge, Grey and Olive Midge Pupa
