Above Lemon, flows will be low and fish spooky. Be ready for sneaky presentations with smaller flies and light tippet.
Below Lemon, the flows are a bit up still, even though they were just recently dropped a little. Dry/Droppers, nymph rights, Euro rigs, and streamers will all find some fish. Watch for hoppers and other terrestrials.
