The river is still in great shape, something is going on with the turb gage on the low end and the clarity has steadily improved over the past month and now is awesome or maybe too clear. Salmonflies are waning, and Yellow Sallies, Caddis and Golden Stones are beginning to come off in greater numbers. Good flies now are Rubberlegs, Olive Hotspots and your favorite Perdigon dropped below a Chubby Chernobyl. Fishing tailouts with streamers like Barr's olive or black Slumpbuster or your favorite Sculpin will produce. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
