Still not a blow out for August and I have been told this may well be the peak this year. There are minimal places to wade and cross in the wild trout section at this release. However it is still very fishable especially for dry fly enthusiasts who enjoy a gulpy take on a hopper or caddis in the afternoon. We will give it another week before we begin drifting again due to the amount of debris coming down as the water levels stabilize.

Been a fun summer and fly fishing with streamers has been good during the extended period of lower flows. Do not hesitate to book a trip in September or October for drifting, it will be very good with darn near perfect weather. Loebergs, punk perch, & spruce-a-bu's are good choices for streamers currently.
