Flow Rates and Water Conditions:

Water Conditions: Good

Flows are at 111 cfs as of 11/21

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:  Good

We have had a few days of snow and rain but it look like things will clear up a bit over the weekend. Nights have been down into the the low 20's so the Tricos are done with the fall BWO emergence getting stronger. Caddis are hatching early and late but we'll see how long that lasts. With the sporadic hatches and both planters and lake fish moving upstream try attractor patterns such as San Juan Worms, Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns and streamers. Remember that the fish moving out of Crowley have had a summer of larger food so don't be afraid to use larger patterns.
