Fishing Conditions
So the fishing over on the lower D is hit or miss. You may be walking a lot for a few fish…but they will be good fish. When you find one trout, you may find a few. Fishing may pick up closer to the dam.
Have hoppers, have mayflies, have streamers. It’s a mixed bag, but all can fool a big ole brown at one point or another.
