Hello Every-one, The river flow is 500cfs. The water clarity is around 3'. The main stay rig is egg pattern #16-20 to red or orange larva's #18-24's. There is a good hatch of small black or gray midges #24-26's coming off early to mid am. You will find a few fish rising to midge clusters #14-22's, very close to the bank's in 2'of water or less. There is a lite large gray beatis {BWO's}#20's hatch late am to early pm. You will find a few fish rising to them T-hole on down. Over-all as of today most of the fish are still down deep and looking for junk on the bottom. Hopefully with the recent cloud cover and warming' hopefully the fish will start looking up. Make sure your hitting bottom fairly often right now. Gray and black midge pupa's and emergers #22-24 have been working. Gray or Chocolate beatis nymph's and emerger's. CDC rs2,foam wings. Tight lines to all. U.S.C.G. Licensed Capt.Mark Nesbit
