Water is low and very clear, use 9' leaders & 6X or 7X are best right now, fishing has been very good, lots of fish being caught on beetles, ants, crackle backs, egg patterns, black buggers have been good, as has the olive woolly buggers. Caddis, B.W.O's and midges are around most of the day, parachute Adams in a #16 or #18 will work all day. Black zebra midges, and pheasant tails are working all day, gray scuds and copper johns have been good also, San Juan worms are working very well as are mop flies and mega worms. For the spin rod fisherman, jigs will work all day, single hook rooster tails are good off & on jigs are better, 2-lb line is best. Good luck, river is full of nice trout.
