Water is still clear and running 33 CFS, making for some great dry fly fishing.

Blue wing olives, caddis, midges, beetles, ants, are all working very well.

Crackle backs, black buggers, olive buggers and small caterpillars are catching lots of trout right now.

Nymphing is very good right now, pheasant tails, caddis larva(burlaps) scuds (gray) copper johns, black zebra midges and gray zebra midges are all working very well right now.

San Juan worms in orange, pink, and yellow are working pretty good.

Chamois worms work all the time, as do small egg patterns.

9' 6X is best for nymphs, and if you are using mostly dry flies, you'll do better with a 9' 7X leader.

Jigs are good right now, the Black/yellow, white, olive and the tan have been doing well.

Lots of people are fishing small jigs under indicators.

Spinners are good for a bit in the morning, most will stop using them by 8 or 9 a.m.

Black, skunk, brown, olive and the pink spinners have been working best the past few weeks.

Lots of people were fishing the little rebel crawfish and doing pretty good early in the morning.

Plastic eggs are still working very well, the natural fish oil has been very good, the white, orange pink/white and the cheese yellow eggs have all been good.

Plastic worms and grubs are working well, the pink, cheese yellow, white , orange/white, and the orange have all been good.

The water is clear right now, 2lb line is sure going to make it a better fishing day for you, I bet I took off 10,000 yds of 4 and 6lb line off reels this week, and it really helped.

4lb is ok for an hour or so, but when the sun is up high, 2lb will be your best friend, good luck on the river this week
