Fishing Conditions

Wadeable flows at about 50 cfs out of the dam.

Fishing has been mediocre.  Close to the dam is where a lot of fish congregated with such low flows over the past few years, however, there are reports of stocking.

Hopper/Dropper combos are a go-to but watch for good BWO hatches.
