Fishing is poor to fair. Best fishing is from 10am to 4pm with primetime skwala dry fly fishing from 1pm to 3pm. Not a lot of skwalas around but just enough to keep trout looking up. In the morning, nymph a stonefly with a #18 Copper John dropper through riffles and tailouts. Prospect with a skwala dry in nooks and crannies along the bank. Rainy days are bringing hatches of BWO’s and march browns midday. Good wade access above Hwy 20 bridge. Skwala hatch will be around. The march brown hatch is just starting and hopefully will be good for the next month or more.
