Fish Report for 5-2-2022

Flows are still lower than we hoped

After “Fishmas,” the California side of the river is now open. Unfortunately flows are still lower than we hoped at 55 CFS as of today. This flow is fishable but still try your best to keep moving and don’t focus only on the deep slots where fish are trying to find refuge. Fly choice is less important as these fish have not seen flies in several months, so stoneflies, mayflies, and caddis should produce. Dry dropper or mini indicator rigs are probably the ideal way to fish at the moment as heavy or large indicator set ups will spook more fish than they catch. Streamers should also be working especially for the larger fish.
