Overview
For most of the day flows are at 890cfs. There is a bump in flows to about 2100 CFS from 6pm to 11pm then dropping down to that base of 890cfs. Bwo’s are out in full force and nymphing will be your most productive option. Later in the day has been when the fish are looking up for some dry fly action, with some midge dry fly action in the mornings. Streamers have been a bit hit or miss. Streamer fishing has ben better on cloudy/rainy days

Overview
Flows on the Green will start out at 1000 CFS and will bump up to about 1800 CFS as the day progresses. The dry fly eat has been tricky, most fish are keyed into smaller mayflies with some willing to eat some terrestrials, but you’ll have to work for it! The nymphing has been good, with fish eating smaller flies subsurface like small scuds, midges, mayfly and caddis patterns.
