Water Conditions:
Poor flows are raging at 586cfs as of 9/29.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Poor flows are even higher now. Some dry action with PEDs and PMDs but that's about all we're hearing. Fishing has been slow as of late. Until they drop the flows down don't expect that to change too much.
