Water Conditions

Flow has been holding at about 128-134 cfs forever and the water is clear and extremely cold.
Road is unaccessible again after snow 2/26.
Don\'t forget the sections above the ranches and from Benton Crossing down to the monument is closed to all fishing.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair to Good

The water temp is lower than 39 degrees and since there will always be water at 39 degress on the bottom of Crowley, guess where the fish have all headed.
There are some bigger fish that have hung around. Guides are taking clients farther in with snowmobiles. No big body counts but some nice quality.

Recommended Flies:

Dries: Para Adam, Stimulators in sizes#18-#20s
Nymphs: Hare\'s Ear, PT\'s, Copper Johns, San juan Worms #18-#16s
Streamers- Olive Wooly Buggers sizes #8-#12. Throw up stream and pull by the undercuts
