The weather is getting pretty warm up here these days, the water temps on the river are increasing as well.  The flows are down to about 65 cfs. As of yesterday the reports indicate that the fish are still happy and healthy and releasing strong, there hasn’t been much angler activity on the river lately but we think that if you get down there early and just fish until maybe around 11:00am or so, then maybe get in some dry action after the sun goes down you should be able to have a bit of fun and not be too much of a risk on the fish, at least maybe for the next week or so. If it keeps getting warmer it will probably be time to stay off the river all together and let those fish have a rest. The lower section below the bridge has been the best, plus the water down there generates a bit more oxygen than up above so the fish are happier, dry/dropper rigs have been doing the best with chubby chernobyl’s, hoppers and madam x’s on top and perdigons, zebras, pheasant tails and the like underneath. Use your best judgement when fishing down there, if the fish seem sluggish at all it’s time to get out so you don’t harm them, and if this is the case please let us know so we can put the word out.
