Water levels are running at 320 cfs and water clarity has been clear. Just a little below average river flow.
Lately the trout are biting really well most days and there have been a few days it has been hard to get a bite. On the good days big white streamers have been the ticket. With the colder temperatures there have been bigger fish moving around. Baitfish and crawfish patterns have been working well. For the really tough days euro nymphing has become very productive. Prince, hare's ear, pheasant tail nymphs all work well. Same rig can be used below an indicator. Plenty of caddis and mayflies hatching on the sunny days.
It has been cold out this week. Hunter and I had a great day with some great guys on Monday. Landed and few nice fish and had a monster wrap an anchor rope and break off. Definitely tis the season to run 3x tippet!!!
Tight lines and good luck,
Mark Crawford
