Good. flows are steady at 28cfs and water is clear as of 4/26.

Gate is now open to the canyon section parking lots so no more hike. You can drive right up to the water at the Interpretive Center.

Fishing conditions and Hatches:
Excellent, major hatches last couple of days despite cool temps . . wait for heat wave this weekend - May Fly City. Use small midges early and BWO's later in the morning and into the afternoon. Fish are seeing more people and getting a little more choosy. It gets going by 9 am, sometimes earlier.
