Water Conditions:
Good to Excellent as of 3/24 the flows are constant at 79cfs. Road is open all the way up. 4X4 and a wash job on the way home are recommended.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Good nymphing is the most sucessful but at least a short BWO hatch midday. Midges early and baetis later as usual. Stripping streamers under the cut banks still delivering some big guys.
