Water Conditions: Great

The water is gin clear and the flows are almost perfect. Cold mornings are making for tough fishing 'tll the sun hits the water.
I would hit the mountain in the morning for a few hours and wait 'til 10 or later to hit the creek

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

There is about 6" of snow on the ground on the way out to the canyon section but the trails down are still not bad.
The BWO hatch is day to day. The Midges hatches are in the afternoon. Most of the fish are feeding subsurface. Try using small Midges, Mayflies and Scuds.

Recommended Flies:

-NYMPHS-
#18-20 WD-40 in Olive or Black, #18-20 Zebra Midges, #18-20 Pheasant Tail, #18-20 Surface Emergers and #16-18 Scuds in Olive or Grey

-DRIES-
#18-20 Hatchmaster BWO, #18-20 Comparadun BWO and #20-26 Parachute Adams

Guide's Hint: Make sure your drifts are perfect, most of the fish will not move to eat a ball of fur, feather and metal.
