so much snow...parking can by limited do to snow pack, be patient and considerate of everyone. Midge hatches are HEAVY on sunny days.

Techniques & Tips as of 3/22/23

nymphing the deeper pools and runs. But don't discount streamers and dries. There have been good hatches on the middle. Lots of fish up and they can be picky. very small midge patterns or a swung fly can work.
