Water Conditions: The DWP has upped the flows again. Has been steadily climbing and is around 542 cfs as of 6/3.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Tough. Fishing was red hot but flood conditions make it tough to get down and the cold weather has nixed most of the dry action. Midges followed by Baetis and Caddis as usual. Go big and bushy on your top fly.

Recommended Flies:
NYMPHS: Size 18 green or grey midges and WD40's in #18-20 range, both bead and non bead. Micro mayflies on top and midges on bottom is all you need most of the day.
DRIES: Para-Adams and Baetis Dry's, size 16-20. Elk hair caddis, parachute caddis,e/c caddis, hot creek caddis (olives, tans, browns) #18-#20s, extended body BWO's in 20-22.
STREAMERS: BH Olive or Rust color 'Buggers.
