Falling but flows are up with rain
Fall on the Upper SJ can be marked by beautiful views and shots at good fish. Nymphing will be the best way to find fish, but don’t discount a streamer either. Flows are a little higher for this time of year, so fish will be happy. Watch for Baetis and Midge hatches too.
