Fishing conditions:  Fair to Good

Report: At just over 600 CFS at the Delta Gage, the river is in good shape from top to bottom with good clarity. Although you can't cross in the same places you can in the summer, you can get some streamer action with sculpin patterns lower in the system. The upper river will be lower and colder, so probably easier wading. Bring the usual patterns for the Upper, Rubberlegs, Zebra Midges, some BP Weiss nymphs and fish them under a dry. On sunny days you can possibly get a hatch, so a well-stocked dry box would be a shame to leave at home.
