Water Conditions: Good Flows at 15cfs as of 9/26. Water is very clear and low when compared to this time last year. Weeds everywhere. Only a few pockets of deeper water here and there.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good the fish are mostly keyed in on Caddis again, with some baetis mixed in sporadically. With the temps where they've been it's been quite pleasant fishing in the canyon with not much of a change in sight!
