Fishing Report & Conditions: Good - Very Good

Caddis migration and female Trico emergence start at 7 AM. Trico spinner fall and PMD hatch begin around 9-10 AM, but the PMD hatch is slowing down. Trico spinner patterns work through midday. Late afternoons and evenings see male Tricos hatching and caddis egg-laying and emergence. Dropping flows are ending PMD and Yellow Sally hatches, also making fish in shallow water more vulnerable to bird predation.
