The flow is up and down between 205 and 354 cfs holding around 300 cfs for two days as of 3/19.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches
Excellent when the flows get below 250 but tougher at 300 cfs for sure.
Midges early then Baetis AND CADDIS hatch about noon for 1-2 hours depending on the day. When the fish start sipping the surface you can go to dries but subsurface will produce better.
Stripping streamers has been tough.
