Fishing Conditions

So the fishing over on the lower D is hit or miss.  You may be walking a lot for a few fish…but they will be good fish. When you find one trout, you may find a few.  Fishing may pick up closer to the dam.

Have hoppers, have mayflies, have streamers.  It’s a mixed bag, but all can fool a big ole brown at one point or another.
