(A) Section- fishing has been great with the best fishing from 11am-3pm. Nymphing midge and baetis has been productive throughout the day. Dry flies will work throughout the day with flying ants working the best on sunny days, and bwo’s on cloudy/rainy days. Streamers will work best on cloudy or rainy days.
(B) Section- fishing has been great up until red creek tributary. Fishing below red creek remains difficult and we expect the tributary to continue to blow out the river for awhile longer. The best fishing will also be from 11am-3pm. Nymphing midge and baetis has been productive. Dry flies will work throughout the day with flying ants on sunny days, and bwo’s on cloudy/rainy days.
Try fishing streamers below red creek. There was a rock slide on the right side of red creek rapid, and it is recommended that you stay river left.
(C) Section- fishing has been slow as a result of red creek tributary. Try fishing black, olive, or purple streamers.
