Water is at 211 CFS Sunday morning, May 4th.

This is still pretty high, but very fishable, PowerBait and other assorted plastic baits worked well all weekend, orange, cheeses yellow, pink, & white were all good colors this weekend.

Quite a bit of weight is still needed, 1/4 & 1/8 egg sinkers are needed to keep PowerBait on or near the bottom of the river. We are still ok with 4-lb line, but the water is getting more clear every day.

Starting to see a few trout looking up more, a few trout were caught this past weekend on hoppers, beetles, and even a few reported some were caught on blue wing olives. When the river hits 100 CFS the dry fly fishing should be very good.

Black buggers were best for me this weekend, but a lot of trout were caught on egg patterns, mop flies, San Juan worms, and heavier nymph patterns. Spoons, small crank baits, and heavier jigs caught a lot of trout this past week.

Best jig colors were black/yellow, olive green, tan, & white.

Good luck on the river this week.
