Monitor the water temperatures. Start early and be off the water by noon. Despite good flows, water temps are still an issue. Fish spread out all throughout the rive and fish are feeding opportunistically. Hopefully these flows remain at this level for a little bit. There are a lot of bugs in the Dream right now. Tricos, BWO's, PMDD's, and midges are all very active. Fish will key on the specific hatches so be sure to have a wide variety of different patterns and sizes. Especially the Tricos. With the higher flows don't discount worms, cranefly larva, scuds, and leaches. There are some small pods of Kokanee in the system and that will be sure to increase the crowds substantially. Cover ground as the flows have really spread the fish out. Anglers can expect decentdry fly activity in certain areas of the river .This is also a great time to blast the banks with terrestrials. Expect to fish with a lot of other people. Be courteous and kind on the river.
