Fishing Locations

 Fishing has picked up with warmer water temps. The canyon is more nymphs than anything else. Some fish have been eating a dry midge but not many. The valley fishing has been getting better and better but it has been very crowded at most access points. Hiking a bit is the only cure for the crowd. Anglers have spring fever. There is a small amount of rock snot breaking loose in the canyon. Big and little stoneflies are being eaten in most of the canyon stretches. Snowmelt is flushing worms out of bank lines. Mayfly nymphs are beginning to work more and more as we get into warmer weather.
