Fishing Report: 
Heard that things have been fishing well over here this summer, big fish on hoppers, and that's a great sign that the river is getting back into shape from years and years of drought. Hopefully that will continue, the fall over here should be amazing...  Early mornings right now are going to be your ticket, now probably isn't the best time to just be learning the river either, at these flows floats can be a bit longer and you'll want to know the takeouts and put ins, or you can just go and wade fish at access points. Hopper fishing over here is generally decent, other than that nymphing the runs and riffles is always pretty good and streamer fishing in the early mornings and late evenings can be productive. Good year over here flow wise, and this river has needed it.
