Fishing Conditions
This is going to be one of the few river options for a bit as it’s a tailwater.
Expect nymphing to be the most productive. Flows have been bumped so you may need a bit more weight, but less stealth now. Try out a Euro nymph rig, enjoy life, and have fun no matter where you are, right?

Midges 18-24: Sidewinder Midge Pupa, Tav’s Big Mac, Black Midge Pupa 18-22.
