Fishing conditions: Good
Report: Goldens and Yellow Sallies are the ticket in the lower reaches, throw your big bugs up top and you should get eats. Up by the Powerhouse you will get eats on the big bugs now too, in the flats not so much. PMDs and caddis are coming off in the flats, and there are Yellow Sallies and caddis coming off in the Powerhouse 2 Riffle daily. Fish Rusty Spinners in the morning and the PMD Challenged during the hatch. Stripping emergers/pupas like a #14 or 16 Cinnamon Fox Poopah or Bird's Nest will work. Bring your Adams in sizes #14 - 20 to match any mayflies coming off in the meadow sections, and fishing a Chubby Chernobyl or your favorite salmonfly dry just about anywhere as a dry-dropper setup can produce takes on the dry.
Hot Flies:

• Rubberlegs
• Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• S&M Nymph
