The river flow is 1000 cfs. The river clarity is around 4-5 feet. Fishing has been good in the braids above Texas hole. The T-hole has been good with a decent blue wing olive hatch around 1:00 p.m. The lower part of the river is fishing ok. We had a good rain last night, hope fully the ant fall will happen, and we will have a great day of dry fly fishing. Death row has been fishing good in the morning.
