From the benchWith the river running low and clear at 382 CFS and temps at 61.5°F, fish will be spooky — stay low, approach from downstream, and keep your casts short. In the morning, work caddis and ant patterns through the riffles before switching to hoppers once the sun hits the banks around 10 AM. Slap hoppers hard against grassy cut banks on the far shore and give them a full second to settle before starting your drift — that pause is where the eat happens. As afternoon temps climb toward 86°F, push fish to the shade of deep runs and boulder pockets with a heavy nymph fished tight to the bottom.
