Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions: Fair, showing 5 cfs as of 8/27

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good 

The PMDs are almost done but the fish still seem to be keying on them. The Tiny BWO has started to emerge, starting about noon until 1 and the egg laying starts about 2.  The Hoppers are still around, not like the Owens but still plentiful. First thing it's Midges, Caddis and Tricos followed by PMDs. The Tricos are definitely taking center stage with the female emergence around 8 and the spinner fall 1-2 hours later. With the increase in Hoppers early afternoon has been getting better. Late afternoon into evening has been good especially if the wind stays down. Caddis migration starts about 8 a.m. with the emergence starting late afternoon.  The Caddis can range from a #14 to a #30 ( no that's not a typo) so don't be afraid to experiment, including "skating" the bigger ones. The # 30's are generally at first light. Also, male Tricos emerging from about 7 until dark.
