Flows on the low end of the river are right around 225 CFS, the water temps are staying below 60 F for the most part. Keep an eye out over the next few days as we are getting a warm spell and this could drive the temps up. Look for Caddis to come off in the mid day through evenings, throw #14 & 16 Elk Hair Caddis and dark Missing Links to rising fish. Blue Wing Olives and midges will be good nymphs to try in the mornings, olive and black X-Mays and S&Ms along with the BP Weiss Nymph and Olive Hotspots. October Caddis pupae are definitely worth trying above Simms.
