The flows on the river have been fluctuating a bit this week, today they are at 40 cfs. The fishing has been very good all week, we've had some overcast days that have made for some good dry action and some windy days that have made things a little tricky at times but not impossible. There have been lots of fish being caught in the 14 to 17 inch range and most days there's been a good number of fish over 18.

Haven't heard much about streamers lately, but the nymphing and dry fly fishing have both been good. Fly patterns to try include parachute adams, blue wing olive, stimulator, blue dun, griffiths gnat, zebra midge, flashback emerger, wd-40, san juan worm, micro stone. We've also had a few good reports from the Rosachi section on the Nevada side of the river, also mostly with nymphs and midges.
