From the benchWith water temps at 62°F and a scorching 101°F air temp on tap, your window is narrow — be on the water by 6 AM and work the shaded, deeper runs and bucket holes along the far bank where fish will stack up to escape warming surface temps by mid-morning. Use a sink-tip or weighted indicator rig to get your leech patterns down to 4–6 feet in the water column; at 2,560 cfs there's enough push to keep fish pinned tight to the bottom structure. By 10–11 AM, shift your focus to the deepest, slowest pools and slow your presentation way down — fish will still eat, but they won't chase. Evening caddis activity may coax a few steelhead to the surface after 7 PM once air temps drop.
