With the draining of Antero, flows on the Dream have increased. This is providing ample oxygen for the residen trout and pushing around some of the bigger food sources. Nymphing with leeches, worms, and scuds would be excellent right now paired up with caddis and midges. Streamers and tiny hoppers will also pick up those aggressive, opportunistic fish.
