Flows are changing a bit. We’re looking at 275 CFS through the downtown gauge. Flows may fluctuate a bit as diversions and ditches begin to shut off in our area. Water temps are perfect and holding in the mid 60sF to mid 50sF.

Fish have been feeding on small flies (#18-#20), BH Zebra Midge and Hot Butt, with a few fish still on crayfish patterns, Mini Crayfish and Cray Z Emma. Streamer fishing has picked up as well as we get closer to the brown trout spawn and the fish become territorial. We have observed what might be prepared redds, but have not seen any activity spawning fish at the moment. Fish have been scattered and found in all types of water throughout the day. As the water warms they move into faster water. 

When the wind stays down in the afternoon, we have been able to find fish nosing up to the surface. While a bit light compared to summer Caddis and PMDs have been hatching in the afternoon with the fish responding.

Flies we suggest: BH Zebra Midge, Hot Butt, black Perdigon, EC Caddis, Hair Wing PMD, French Nymph, Weiss UV Jig, OCD Caddis, Jigged PT
