Water level is normal, at 52 CFS on Sunday. This is great, and the fishing has been very good.

Dry fly fishing is good with Caddis, blue wing olives, midges, and a few small yellow stone flies, which are working well right now.

We’re using crackle backs, beetles, ants, and even catching a few on hoppers already. Good nymphs to use right now would be pheasant tails, copper johns and burlaps, Scuds, gray sow bugs, and black zebra midges work well. Woolybuggers in olive, black and brown have been effective to this week. Mop, flies, mega worms and small egg patterns have been good all week also.

If you are fishing plastic worms or eggs, then pink, white, flourescent orange and mint green have all been good.

Pink and the yellow gulp grubs are still working very good. Water is clear, so use 2-pound line if you can — you’ll have better results.

Spinners are still good early in the morning. Black, pink, white and orange have all been good this week.

Marabou jigs are still very good right now in black/yellow, olive green, white, brown and pink.

Good luck on the river this week!
