Rating: 5/5
Current River Conditions
July 23, 2024
The flows are dropping off right now and the fishing has been great. Plugging the banks with hopper-dropper rigs and streamers have been producing lots of fish. If you're fishing from the banks, attractor nymph rigs have been producing the most fish. Green Drakes are hatching thick right now, look for active risers in the later part of the day and even into dusk!
