Fishing Locations

 Since some of our other rivers have begun to go into run-off this is the best water conditions within two hours. The clarity is perfect and the temps are right for the B.W.O.'s and March Browns. Soft hackle flies are getting hot and a few fish have noticed some of the dry flies but they are eating just under the surface. The West Fork isn't puking yet so both banks are good to fish below this confluence. Crawling and Cased caddis patterns are becoming better droppers as the water warms. The river is filled with Rainbow eggs now and tons of fish have really keyed in on them.
