Flows are only around 94 cfs as 10/7/26. Best fishing will come from small midge patterns this time of year. Cloudy overcast days as we get later into the fall will increase some of the small dry fly and emerger activity. During sunny days and throughout the middle of the day there will be some decent terrestrial activity with small hoppers, ants, and beetles. Cloud covered afternoon hatches will be the best time of day to fish.
