The Blitzen is flowing at around 400 cubic feet per second at the gage at Page springs weir. Water temperatures are in the 40s and some mayflies and small stoneflies were hatching last week. Water clarity will be variable depending on flows and warmer weather as snow melts off of Steens Mountain. There are some large redband moving up the system right now.
