Fishing Report:
The river is flowing at abvout 7500 cfs with caddis and pmd's going off up top with good dry fly fishing. your typical tailwater nymph rigs will bet your best bet to pick up fish if their are no heads up top. This still wadeable in some spots but the boat fishing is a much better choice. Dry fly fishing should be best on overcast days and more towards the upper river, but those who know the lower river can do well below Cascade on some special stuff, right Greg. Streamers have been picking up fish so don't forget to give it a try, stripping slowly is the way to go right now and cloudy days will be the most productive. The MO is a good bet right now.
