Fishing Conditions 

Flows are steady at about 350 and fishing has been good with baetis and midge hatches in the afternoons.

However, we have a lot of rain this weekend, so we could see an ant fall over the weekend.  Get your small flying terrestrials out!

It’s full-on summer mode in the Quality Waters, fishing is good so expect lots of company.  Dial in your bugs and weight so you can be hooked up anytime someone looks at you.  It’s a scene and you want to be seen, right?
