Flow is running at 157 CFS and 50.7°F — slightly up from last week's 154 CFS and warmer than the prior 47°F read, keeping water clear for now, but a significant rain event arriving today through Monday will likely push flows higher and cloud clarity by afternoon.

Hatch Chart
| Insect | Size | Activity | Prime Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis) | 20-22 | Heavy | 10 AM - 2 PM |
| Midge | 20-24 | Moderate | 8 AM - 11 AM |
| Caddis | 18-20 | Light | 12 PM - 3 PM |
| PMD (Pale Morning Dun) | 18-20 | Light | 11 AM - 1 PM |
Best Time Window
- 7 AM - 10 AM: Pre-hatch midge nymphing in slower pools and tailouts before rain intensifies.
- 10 AM - 1 PM: Prime BWO hatch window — overcast skies will keep duns on the water and fish looking up.
- 1 PM - 3 PM: Fish feeding lanes with nymphs before rising flows and rain-driven runoff cloud the water.
Guide's Tip
From the benchGet on the water early this morning before the rain intensifies — flows are still clear at 157 CFS and 50.7°F, and the overcast sky will actually extend the BWO hatch window well past noon. Fish a single nymph tight to the bottom in the deeper feeding lanes using a 5X or 6X tippet and a long, drag-free drift; when you see fish rising, switch to the Barr's Flashback Emerger or Parachute BWO in the film. Keep a close eye on clarity as the afternoon rain accumulates — if the water starts to color up, move upstream to cleaner water or call it a day before conditions deteriorate ahead of Monday's mixed precip.
