The river is running at 68 cfs today and has had a couple flow changes this past week. The fishing has been pretty good though I wouldn't say easy. We've had some really great reports with other anglers struggling a bit. The best reports have been from anglers fishing with nymphs, both small midges and caddis nymphs. There's some pretty good caddis hatches in the evenings and there's been some decent dry fly fishing after the sun goes down. Some patterns to try include mercury midges, rainbow warriors, silver streaks, wd-40's, flashback emergers, LaFontaine's emerger, Fox's poopah, buckskin caddis, san juan worm.
