Rocky Mountain Outfitters5-Day Outlook as of 5/22/25
Look for flows to increase with high temps this weekend. Fishing is still good. its about to turn into a sow bug game!
Techniques & Tips as of 5/22/25
Nymphing has been the most productive. The Lower has seen more rising fish then the middle overall. The flows increasing might knock down the hatch some but still lots of bugs. Throw some bigger sows and worms when appropriate.
