Flows are 57cfs. This is a good number for February. Access is not a problem and shouldn't be unless we get some snow. Cloudy afternoons are the best time to go for sure. Since we have not seen too many clouds you might have to go whenever. We have had the occasional Baetis hatch but it is mostly midges. For Nymphing use size 18-22 and if you can find fish rising try it with a dry Midge size 20. Keep an eye on the storms and our report to see any changes.
