There are some seriously big and angry rainbows in this river. They will break your junk off. You might like to know insect hatches are best mid day with a few Slate Drakes (#16 Pheasant Tail), some Blue Wing Olives (#16-18 Black Micro Mays) and lots of midges (#18 Zebra Midge).
Good flies are #16-14 P.T. Nymphs, #14 Black Micro Mayflies. Try some bigger stonefly patterns like Mercer's Poxy Back Dark Stone, or the good 'ol stand-by "Pat's Rubber Legs". Bring Salmon fly patterns and Golden Stone nymphs. These big bugs of spring should start popping off along lower stretches any time.
