Water Conditions: Good the flows are up to 153cfs as of 3/6. The water is clear and rather cold coming out of the dam.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fishing continues to be excellent with perfect wading flows and daytime temperatures. The fish are really on the bite from 11am until 2pm but you can catch fish all day down deep. Fish Midges early. After that maybe a Baetis hatch for an hour, sometimes two midday.
