REPORT:

Some sunshine and temperatures into the mid 40’s brought out the anglers. Angler density was moderate to high in some areas, mostly the middle of the run. The anglers that were throwing flies had moderate to good success with using light colored flies, white and yellow were particularly productive. Anglers that were center pinning had slow success. Several season pass holders commented that even though the flow was 750CFS, the river seemed lower.
