Fishing Locations

 The river is beginning to change. The flow hasn't jumped up a dramatic amount but the clarity changed a lot. The tribs and the Park started to flow with some mountain snowmelt over the weekend, this reduced the visibility to almost zero. The first Caddis began to hatch around Yankee Jim but as soon as they started the color and clarity started changing. You could try some tight bankline fishing but it is going to be tough. This is probably the start of Spring run-off.
