Yesterday was a typical summer day with afternoon sulphurs in Deposit and Iso’s through the evening. The lower West was decent in the evening with a fair amount of vitreus. The Main Stem fished early on but the temps were too warm in the evening to produce many rising fish.
The water is still dropping and more of the river is becoming accessible to those on foot. The sun will shine bright today, so look for fish in the shade and riffles.
