And by the way, the river is going to around 5,000 cfs. It's 5200 cfs.
Caddis are starting to come. When it warms up a little more, it will be the real deal. Baetis will keep you busy cloudy days. March Browns are starting to wane, but you can still fish big dries and seduce our rainbows to the surface. Midges, especially subsurface, will keep you smiling. Did we mention nymphs? What for? Wind is a factor from time to time.
The pace is starting to pick up. It's a big river that's fishing from top to bottom and from the beginning to the end. Enjoy!
