Fishing Report:
The flows are still holding steady around 950 c.f.s.; look for a bump some time in September. The hopper fishing has been on and off, but small attractor dries and ants and beetles are consistent producers. The spruce moths are dying off. Your usual nymphs will always produce at this time of the year, and the streamer fishing has apparently been good, even in mid-day.
