Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: the river holds lots of fish. Caddis, stimulators and Royal Wulffs work below Echo and in the Blue Ribbon stretch, and hoppers with a dropper draw hard strikes near banks. By day, fish nymphs such as pheasant tails, hare's ears, sow bugs and zebra midges; spin anglers can use trout crankbaits, curly tail jigs and size 4 spinners.
