Latest fishing report
As of June 9, dam releases had climbed to a 4600 cfs daily mean, with a drop to 1600 cfs planned from June 13. Fishing had been excellent but should slow in high water. Nymphs catch the most fish; white streamers, terrestrials and spinners also work.
High releases make the river fast, cold and hazardous; at Indian Crossing, the bridge becomes dangerous over 3500 cfs and cannot be passed near 4500 cfs.
This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
