Flows from Lake McCloud are 218 CFS and 305 CFS through Ah-Di-Na which has it dropping into shape nicely. The color is super nice, good visibility throughout. With longer days and warming weather we should begin seeing some insect hatches happening. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. Some smaller stoneflies should be coming off and when it's warmer you could see some early larger mayflies as well. We have some great weather coming up over the next few weeks. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.

Hot Flies:

• Pat's Rubberlegs
• Olive Hotspot
• Coppertop Duracell
• Sweet Pea - #16
• Copper John Red - #16
• Jigged Birds Nest - Natural, Hot Spot #14-16
• Walt's Worm
