From the benchWith flows dropping to 5,320 cfs, fish have moved off the mid-river gravel bars and are stacking tight to the cut banks and willow-lined edges — position your boat within 10 feet of the bank and make short, accurate casts rather than long cross-current throws. During the midday hopper window, work the shaded bank on the east-facing bends first; the big browns are sitting in the shadows waiting for a meal to fall off the grass. If you see a fish rise and refuse your hopper, immediately downsize to a #16 Bionic Ant in the same lane — they're often looking at both and the ant will close the deal.
