River report: evening caddis and wet wading
Mid-summer flows have settled and the evening caddis hatch is as good as we've seen it.
The river settled at about 900 cfs after runoff, and it’s fishing well from the upper canyon all the way to the take-out.
What’s working
- Elk hair caddis from 6pm to dark. Size 14–16.
- PMD nymphs under an indicator in the morning.
- Hoppers along the grassy banks on windy afternoons.
Water temperatures are climbing, so we’re ending half days by 1pm on hot days to keep the fish healthy.
