Tim Linehan's Tip of the Week
Play the drop in flows and keep an eye on the possible bumps due to runoff. Looks like warmer temps are near so river may bump again. Otherwise, dry/dropper action has been great.

Linehan Outfitting Company5-Day Outlook as of 4/23/24
The river shaped up nicely the last few days but it looks like another bump might be on the way with warmer temps. Keep an eye on clarity. Green is good. Right now it's still in good shape.
Techniques & Tips as of 4/23/24
Stick with nymphing and streamers in the morning. Afternoons offer dry fly action with skwalas, March browns and baetis.
