Water is back down to what else but...low.

The flash of high water did however flush the river pretty well, it would have been better if we could have gotten that flash a month later but I won't complain.

The wet fly bite in skinnier water has picked up tremendously after the flush. This skinnier water is the water you usually walk through on your way to nymph the "good" water at the islands

Of course nymphing is picking up fish but the water is crazy clear go long with your leaders and go a touch lighter too. A size smaller fly has been working lately, the usuals, Stones, Copper Johns, RFSN's but throw in some Micro-Mays now.

Not going to do much good to report that the Tricos are going crazy most every morning....no risers. Get out early swinging wets or soft hackles to get into the fish that are after the Trico's before you "see" the Tricos.

Fishing has been fairly stellar but we are earning every fish....so it goes for summer time fishing.
