Rocky Mountain Outfitters's Tip of the Week

On the Lower the construction of the near put in at the state park is dumping some sediment into the river. The higher portion is off color and the lower you get it starts to clear up. With the flow drop on the Lower the moss monster is a bigger issue. However, fishing remains steady.. WATCH YOUR STEP FOR REDDS
