Very low levels for August however this river is fed by mostly snow melt with cooler feeder springs that are not geo-thermally warmed, so the water temps do not become as much of a factor here as in other areas. Dry dropper rigs with a Stimulator (plenty of hoppers along the banks, hence the Stimmy) on top and a bead head PT, hares ear, or Drifters olive zebra and caddis larva #16-20 will get you grabs. We got some takes on parachute ant patterns as well. Terrestrials are a vital part of the trout's diet on all of the freestone creeks in the Sierra. As the levels continue to drop use smaller patterns in the #16-18 range. Caddis and mayfly adult patterns are right on most of the time here #16-18. Fishing the largest pools and deeper cuts are your key to locating concentrations of fish. Casting upstream from the tailouts of the larger pools is the best strategy for presentations. Conventional drifts and high sticking will work on only a small percentage of the water right now. The fish are very spooky and you must make longer casts to get consistent grabs.
