Went to the "Walk In" access near Morgan. 
The river was still a little High, and still somewhat muddy, Could be the recent rain, but fish-able.  The land owner was very friendly and helpful.  There has been no cattle grazing so the grass was high making bank access hard. Hooked three fish but could not land them, water was fast and access to water is a little hard, fish were very shy..  All three were hooked using an 1/8 oz jig with a 2" power minnow.  My grand daughter had fun and we did something I hadn't done for lots of years.  She has never fished a river, but good experience for her.
Give the river another month and water will be down low. Couldn't get any taker on the three flies I tried.
The river will not be low in another month.  What you are seeing is the required summer flow for water owners to irrigate with.  It will drop some in september as some of the less senior holders come off line and again in october to the normal fall/winter flows.
You were fishing at about 450 cfs, some of that water was due to recent rain.  It will lay back down to about 350, which is average for the summer.

Thank you for correcting me, most of my river fishing was 20 years ago on the Logan.  I 'm confined to boat now a days.
