High water flow of 5000 cfs is here until 06/19/08 when the water flow will start be reduced down to 500 cfs on 07/02/08. Wading is very dangerous right now. Wade only if you know the river at this flow. I suggest using a wading staff and wearing a PFD. Use your staff and if you feel No Bottom then NO STEP! One mistake might be your last. The Fishing from the boats is good as usual. The flies of choice is San Juan worms #16-18, gray scuds#20-22.White myssis shrimp#22, red larva's, bunny and lace leeches of different colors. #16-22, and of coarse the fish impaler, red or orange sparkle worms. There has been some midge and beatis hatches. Navajo Lake gas been hot fishing for Pike, Small Mouth Bass, and the crappie bite is on. The carp bite is starting.

Tight Lines,
