Current Report
Flows are pretty steady now, fishing remains steady. Storms may cause clarity issues.

Special Report
Fishing has been a fairly good. The fish are shutting down in the afternoon (1 or 2 pm usually) and are not very active after this point until later in the evening.

One-Week Fishing Forecast
Below normal temps for this time of the year. Beginning of the week in the upper 60's and ulower to mid 70's by Thursday. 50-60% chance of showers through Wednesday.

Hatch Info
Hoppers are starting the fly of choice. Try a Joe's Hopper or a Stalcup's hopper in yellow in sizes 14-10. Yellow bellies seem to be the hot item right now.

Hot Fly Patterns
Hoppers have been working top water. You can run a dropper off either a stimulator or a hopper pattern though. Run a Stimulator/hopper on top (yellow body, size 10-12) and drop a B.H. Prince Nymph, Copper John or Hare's Ear nymph (sz 14-16) off the bottom. Rubberlegs may also be getting some attention.
