Flows on the low end of the river are right around 225 CFS, the water temps are staying below 60 F for the most part. October Caddis are coming off in and around Dunsmuir, so bring your OC patterns. Look for Caddis to come off in the mid day through evenings, throw #14 & 16 Elk Hair Caddis and dark Missing Links to rising fish. Blue Wing Olives and midges will be good nymphs to try in the mornings, olive and black X-Mays and S&Ms along with the BP Weiss Nymph and Olive Hotspots.
