Water Flow Data
5-Day Outlook as of 4/30/24
Eggs and Stonefly Nymphs should be great bets BWO nymphs and perdigons will also go. Also a swung sculpin on a trout spey is a good bet and fun way to entice those fish.
Techniques & Tips as of 4/30/24
Nymphing with dark flashy stone flies, pheasant tails, and duracell jigs are the ticket when fish aren't rising for dry flies.
Local Species Available Some closures. Check local regulations.
