None5-Day Outlook as of 8/28/23
Keep a stream thermometer with you and monitor water temps as you are fishing. The hotter weather is pushing water temps into potentially dangerous ranges for the fish. Try streamers on a sink tip line for single hand rods or spey rods. You can also try dries or dry dropper.
Techniques & Tips as of 8/28/23
Swing large streamers and intruder-type flies on sink tip lines for salmon, steelhead, and bull trout. You can also fish regular trout set ups for trout and bull trout as well.
