Flow: 63cfs/below Ruedi Reservoir
Conditions: The fishing has finally changed to the point that a new report was needed. Longer and warmer days are providing improved fishing and longer windows of opportunity. Midge hatches are gaining in strength and numbers of rising fish can now be seen. Look for the best dry fly fishing to take place closer to the dam. During warmer, overcast days even the lower river is seeing good hatches. BWOs are still a little ways off but nymphs are always of importance. Keep your tippets light as 6x and 7x are typical given the small flies and educated fish.
