Pretty fun. A client and I very recently spent half the day nymphing and half the day casting parachute BWO's and midges to a large pod of fish feeding in an eddie. They ate midges, they ate mayflies, they ate a San Juan Worm-they REALLY ate an olive crystal caddis larva pattern. We almost called Sea World because there was a fish that looked like Shamu and we thought it had escaped! It bent a 2x heavy nymph hook out after a couple hours of casting to it. Rat bastard!

Conditions remain very good, flows are around 100cfs and you just need to get on a section of water that has a hole over 3 feet deep to get into some numbers most days. During the calm days the fish are moving into the riffles as well and using "Guerrilla" tactics and covering a lot of water will pay off under this condition.
