REPORTS: It's down about another 300 cfs from yesterday morning. While conditions are improving flow wise, this river's still COOOOOOLD and murkey. If the falling water levels continue for awhile (which they most likely will), die hard streamer and nymph fishermen will probably have a shot for a few days at some acceptibly so-so fishing by maybe the weekend. Hard to commit to this river, though, when the Missouri is producing some of the most gonzo fishing it has in quite some time. The flow at Bonner this morning is 3840 down from 4110 this time yesterday.
HATCHES: Very damn little.
FLIES: Uh, heavy sinky things.
