FISHING: Good
The overall weather lately has been fishlike. The valley has experienced a substantial amount of rainfall and clouds over the last two weeks. The fishing has been great and the catching has been average to great depending on the day and the stretch of river fished. The Lower Canyon fishing has been decent, but nothing spectacular. The farmlands have fished about the same. The Upper Canyon has turned on a bit in comparison to the past month. The Upper Flatlands has been spotty but good and the Upper Proper certainly worthy. The bug activity throughout the system has been prolific at times recently with PMD's, Large Yellow Mays, Yellow Sallies, Golden Stones, Drakes, Craneflies, Caddis, Tan Mayflies and a variety of Terrestrials present. The river is an GREAT condition. Flows continue to be unseasonably low. In speaking with The Bureau of Reclamation, lately their game plan has been to ride out as much of this natural moisture as possible. Our air temps lately have been rather warm and the amount of precipitation while nothing like the west side has been significant. Most of the moisture lately has been coming by way of rain showers and as an overall rule has not been sustained for any amount of time....Perfect Mayfly (Big Yellow Mays, PMD's, Drakes) weather and has also instigated some good Cranefly activity. Summer Stones are not to far away and their distant cousin the Golden Stone has been quite important over the last few weeks. Combine the aforementioned insects with Caddis and you have quite the selection! Nymphing has been a goto technique in the Lower Canyon and Farmlands lately. on the water daily, fish-on
