Flow Rates and Water Conditions

Water Conditions: Fair

Flows are at 181 cfs as of 10/21

Fishing Conditions and Hatches

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

Good news, we now have a lot more water to fish! Midges are around all day with caddis and a very good BWO hatch starting around 11. Some surface activity but mainly nymphing. One thing to keep in mind, After rain or snow melt the river can be dirty below the Petroglyph parking (#9) from Horton Creek. If you're down below and it's dirty just move upstream until you find clean water.
