Flow Rates and Water Conditions
Water Conditions: Fair
Flows are back up to 128 cfs as of 7/25
Water temperatures mid to upper 60s midday
Fishing conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good
Night time temperatures have been down in the 40's so early morning water temperatures have down in the mid 60's. Definitely into summer mode with Tricos and big midges especially up towards the dam. The flows have come back up so the faster water should be more oxygenated but the water temperatures have gone up so take lots of temperature readings and be aware of the fish's speed of recovery. Also leave the fish in the water if you're taking pictures. The hatches have been sporadic with midges and Tricos being the strongest but also Caddis. Not a lot of surface activity, the best being the last couple of hours of light. I repeat the evenings are worth a try. Shouldn't be too long before the Perch fry start getting flushed into the river.
