The river is running at 123 today and still fishing pretty well. The crowds have thinned by quite a bit so most days there's not too much traffic on the water. Like last week the best fishing has been mainly nymphing with small caddis nymphs and midges. We have had a couple decent streamer reports early in the morning and a few decent dry reports late in the evening.

Patterns to fish include rainbow warriors, WD-40's, San Juan worm, flashback emerger, zebra midge, copper john, buckskin caddis, LaFontaines sparkle pupa, Fox's poopah and z-wing caddis.
