It did not rain yesterday. There is still a lot of water in the feeder streams but the river flows are dropping. We need them to come down quite a bit before wading is a good option but fishing from a drift boat is fine. At these levels streamers are still the best option. Change them up every pool or two if you’re not finding fish until they start to react. There were quite a few olives hatching yesterday but it’s tough to find fish rising in these flows. If you pick the right long tailout or pool you may get lucky and find some dry fly action. The 10 day forecast looks clear until Tuesday.

Light Cahill – #14 – 16 – Steno spp.
Isonychia – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
