Cranefly pattern
Water is down and gorgeous. Multiple techniques including short riffle swinging soft hackles and little streamers. Crane flies, blue wings and October caddis are strong. Some stealth required. Lingering size 16 caddis and summer stones.

Mike with a sweet wild one.
Water is fluctuation from 2-3.5 feet of clarity.  Numbers over Bonneville are comparable to last year. Don’t be afraid to mix it up. We should see some dryline activity over the next couple weeks. October Caddis are strong.

Fishing has been a little tough with lots of pressure.  Some good fish around but there is a sturgeon season and the amount of traffic is, well, classic for the Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife’s management style….

Some great fish hooked, lost and landed.  Tough fish to keep up with…Blistering runs, aerial acrobatics and eratic direction keep you on your toes.   Swinging T-8 to T-14 depending on flow and depth.  Pretty good fishing.

Fishing with dries and droppers is dirty good right now! Stones, Hoppers, October Caddis, Cranefies and Blue Wings are all on the menu:))

Water is low as the flip flop is over and there are good water temps throughout.

Fishing is goooooood.  Water is real low.  Watch your prop. This river is really an anomally.  Ever year, month  and day is different.  Keeps you on your toes:)) Good dry fly fishing as well as some decent swinging.

Water clarity is ranging between 1.5 to 2.5 depending on where you are in the system and at what time. There are definitely fish around…both Steelhead and Kings
