This little stream is the one in our area that is affected by low flows and high water temps the most. The snowpack is helping greatly. The flows are 140 CFS. That is amazing for August. This fishery is best for sure in the mornings in the summer no matter what but for sure you can fish all day right now. This is a great place to try out your dry dropper rigs with a Hopper or a Yellow Stone and a small midge, Baetis or San Juan dropper.
If your alone, fish two rods, one with a straight big dry and another with a smaller indo rig and two small nymphs. Start with a few casts in each hole with the dry and then give it 5 minute rest and come back with the indo rig. If you’re with a buddy, do this and switch it up in each run or hole.
