Water Conditions: Excellent the flows are easing up and at 203 as of 1/12. Wading is still excellent.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good and the midday hatches are good but not wide open. You might stay with midges all day and work the slooooow water. Summer tactics are just not doing it.

Streamers are producing . . . drifting is excellent to get to those unaccessible pools. Fish are feeding earlier and later but not all at once during 3 hours midday.
