Flows are at 40 cfs as of 7/1. The river is back down with no real chance of substantial rain in the future.

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Good

With the flows back down and the temperatures high midday the fishing is better mornings and evenings. I'm going to sound wishy-washy but there's incredible diversity in the food available. First thing in the morning it's midges and caddis size #18-24. Around 10 some PMD's #16-18 start emerging sporadically. All afternoon there are off and on hatches including Little Yellow Sallies plus terrestrials are starting to work well. The big caddis and big mayflies #12-18 are fading with the smaller versions becoming predominant. Mornings until midafternoon nymphing is best after that the dry fly action picks up.

Dries: Elk Hair Caddis #12-18 | Para Caddis #14-20 | Sparkle Flag PMD #16-18 | Lawsons Thorax PMD #16-18 | CDC Flavilenea Dun #12-16 | Tan Stimulators #14-18

Nymphs: B/H Flash Back Pheasant Tail #14-18 | Tungsten Black Beauty #20-22 | Nori's Caddis #18-22 | B/H Prince #10-20 |Hogan's S and M Nymph #18-22 | Mercers Micro Stones #14-16
