Water Conditions:
Flows are perfect! Temps in the mid 50's.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Excellent, make sure your fly is floating high, we have been seeing a lot of rejections because the fly was sitting in the film instead of riding on top. Slower in the morning, but things pick back up around noon. Some Yellow Sally's around 11 AM. Still great just at dusk with lots of PED's coming off with lots of rising fish.

Guides Hint
Pools usually yield 2-3 fish. Rather than changing flys, move upstream to the next pool. Sticking to faster water where the fish don't spook quite as easily.
