Clarity continues to improve as we reach the waning days of lake turnover and sight casting in the upper river has been producing great numbers. Mid-river has been fishing well early with smaller anelids followed by dark midge pupa transitioning to baetis nymphs and emergers in the afternoon. Dry fly fishing has been challenging but productive given a twenty or so minute break in the afternoon winds.
