Current River Conditions
January 16, 2024
The higher flows has been bringing great fishing! Water is clear and cold, so try to sight fish if you can. However, there's plenty of fish in the river that it certainly isn't a necessity. Expect to spend most of your time nymphing midges, leading with an egg, small stonefly, scud, or midge larva. However, there have been some fantastic dry fly opportunities recently and we recommend having a few midge adult variations in preparation for these brief windows.
