ESTABLISHED 1978
Flows unchanged and water temps in the 50's over the weekend meant for some good fishing. BWO's, caddis and the occasional yellow sally are out and about. Depending on time of day and conditions, you can bet something will be happening on top-water. Sub-surface can still be a productive option with a variety of things working such as a Crayfish, Worms, Eggs, BWO nymphs, caddis emergers, yellow sally nymphs, Perdigons, and Scuds. If you're on the river early enough and don't see much action, throw a streamer until things heat up and fish become more active. Check the flows before you go in case they've bumped it to simulate some spring run off.
