Fishing Locations

 The fishing is mainly sub-surface nymphing. Dry fly fishing has had slow start this year. Sows and scuds are as always a "go to" choice. Small baetis and midge nymphs have consistantly been taking fish. If the days conditions are right you can find some action on their dry fly versions. Water temps out of the dam are cold and the flow hasn't changed in weeks.
