Water Conditions — 60’s, low and clear.

Fishing Conditions — The first salmon of our year was caught on Saturday, August 1st just below Barothy Lodge, a great looking early king.  Trout fishing has been fair during daylight hours and good after dark.  During the day fishing hopper patterns and nymph droppers as well as small streamers like woolly buggers in black, brown and white. Night fishing with mice has also been good.  With the rain from early this week expect to see more kings in the system soon.                                                 

Please catch and release
