The craziness has begun on the Dream, expect loaded parking lots, lot's of anglers, and big fish around. Kokanee salmon are in large pods throughout the river right now, we'd suggest fishing worms, eggs, and bright perdigons through the middle of these pods. For trout, midges and BWO's are what's hatching right now, so that's what we'd suggest throwing on. Please keep in mind brown trout are beginning to stage up for the spawn, leave spawning fish alone and be aware of redds so you don't fish on them nor walk on or near them.
