The river is still high but is starting to drop with reduced flows from Ennis Lake. However, it is still high and tough to "effectively" fish from the bank or in a boat. It should continue to drop the next few days and be in prime shape by next week. Currently, nymphing under a strike indicator with Sculpin or Crayfish patterns followed by small PMD and Yellow Sally nymphs has been reasonably productive. We have been doing some evening jaunts out to the river, hoping for Brown Drakes and Caddis - but have not found much going on as of yet. Stay tuned as it should get real good, real soon
