RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Great
It's that time of the year to fish the Day'. The water is dropping (currently 1260 cfs at Service Ck.) The river is still floatable and now it is wet wadable to!
The fish are starting to concentrate in the deeper pools, drifts and eddys. With recent warm temps the water is great!
Streamers, buggers and drifted nymphs are good until late morning fished with a sink tip and short 3x leader. Watch for the topwater activity to switch over late morning and into the evening, then change over to hair poppers, frogs, dragons flies and even big dries (like salmon flies) for some explosive topwater action.
As the water level continues the drop the river will become unfloatable, so check the flows before you go!
