From the benchWith flows at 1,000 CFS and gin-clear water, fish are spooky — stay low, approach from downstream, and extend your tippet to at least 5X (6X in the tailouts). During the midday heat pushing toward 91°F, focus your dry-fly effort on shaded canyon walls and north-facing banks where terrestrials are falling and fish feel safe looking up. For salmon, work the deeper green-water slots in the early morning before the sun hits the water, swinging a Sparkle Minnow Sculpin on a slow, deliberate swing with a mend to keep it in the zone. As temperatures cool after 5 PM, switch back to caddis dries in the riffled runs — that evening window will be your most productive dry-fly fishing of the day.
