The water came down to 1000cfs two days ago! Most of the moss that was in the river is gone and it cleared up some. There was about three and a half feet of visibility in the Texas Hole and I’m sure that it was even better upriver. If you can get to the river to fish it this week I highly recommend it. The flows are supposed to increase again next week. The fish ate very well yesterday; it was one of the best days since the water went up in February. The fish have started eating insects instead of all the eggs, worms and larva that we have been fishing. In the morning I did well with midges, it didn’t seem to mater what color they were. I caught fish on black, brown and grey midge emergers until lunch. Around 12:30 the blue winged olives started hatching. There weren’t many fish eating them on the surface but they were definitely looking for them subsurface. We caught fish for the rest of the afternoon on brown, grey and olive mayfly nymphs. The whole river fished well from T-hole to death row. If I get up wade fishing this week I will give you a report on how that is fishing. I am sure that they are eating midges like crazy.
Good luck, Chris
