Steady, dropping to 350 cfs on October 305h
The Flows will be dropped to 350 cfs on October 30th.
Fishing has remained good in spite of the work being done on the dam. Water clarity is good, and fish are looking to eat midges and baetis nymphs and dries, worms, and the occasional streamer. Colder weather with rain is moving in, so flows could discolor for a day or so, but fishing should remain good through the late fall, even with dry fly fishing.
Junk: Mop flies, San Juan Worms, Eggs, Annelids in 18-22.
Midges 20-26: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Tav’s Big Mac, Bling Midge, Grey and Olive Midge Pupa
Midge Dries: Griffith Gnat 18-22, Bunny Midge 20-24.
BWO Nymphs: Foam Wing RS-2s 20-24, Killer May 20-24, Juan’s Sniper Baetis 22-24, Juan’s Jedi Master 22-24, All Flavors of WD-40s #20-24.
