Water levels are at normal levels and water clarity is excellent. There remains a good population of both brown trout as well as steelhead throughout the river.

Fishing Report
With the cooler weather and overcast conditions this weekend the fish were consistently holding in the deeper holes. This has made them tougher to catch for those fishing with fly gear as the drifts are extremely short in the slower water. Those willing to put forth the effort required are having some luck. Smaller flies have been most productive. Black or olive whooley buggers or worms (in smaller sizes) as well as small egg imitation flies have been taking fish. For those drifting spawn sacs the fishing has been much more consistent. With the fish holding in the deeper holes, drifting the sac under a float will allow one to cover the deep pools much more effectively. Action has been best in the mid-afternoon, but mornings have also produced fairly well.
