2 - GOOD on 05/01/2010
The river is recovering from the flood, where it was at 14ft. The BSR is moving at 654 cfs today. There was a good caddis hatch all day from 1030 till 130 when I left. Water is clear. Temp was 58f. tried nymphing caddis and stone flies but know takers the first hour as I moved down the river. Moved to a sinking tip and a small streamer pattern and caught 3 Bows in 30min. No surface action. Most have not been able to fish here because of the flooding opening day was the second Saturday in April. Another 100 cfs drop off and we could work are way up to excellent.
