As of 4/24/24 flows have increased to around 750 cfs. This area has been getting busier with the nicer weather. Midge hatches have been good here. Spring BWO hatches have started so be on the lookout for some dry risers. Look to use pheasant tails, zebra midges, RS2s, and a variety of streamers. Try sizes between 18-22 in the morning and go a little larger later in the day. Nymphing will be your best chance to catch some trout in this stretch during this time of the year.
