Fishing conditions: Great
Report: The Nature Conservancy is open and from the dam down through the last pool, the river is fishing very well and will continue to improve over the coming weeks. Perdigons, Frenchies, Rubberlegs and the RK Sin City are good flies. Look for Green Drakes to come off later this week when we get the stormy weather. The Salmonflies will be hatching shortly, so keep your eyes open and a Chubby Chernobyl tied on if you are fishing dry-dropper. Fishing tailouts with streamers like Barr's olive or black Slumpbuster or your favorite Sculpin will produce. Streamers can net a big Brown. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
