From the benchWith water temps at 70.9°F, resident trout are stressed in the main stem — find them stacked at the mouths of cold-water tributaries and in deep, shaded runs where temps drop a few degrees. Fish these thermal refuges early with a nymph set 18–24 inches deep, then switch to a terrestrial or dry-dropper along shaded alder banks once the fog burns off around 9 AM. For salmon, focus your effort in the first and last 45 minutes of light, swinging a Sparkle Minnow or Poacher through the deeper, slower pools near the estuary where fish are staging. Keep your fish in the water and minimize handling time — warm water reduces oxygen and recovery time is critical.
