Fished the upper and lower catch and return sections. Conditions were running around 150cfs. Very wadable levels. Temps 58-66 deg. Trout action was very good in upper section with strong bows in the 14-17" range. Fought like small Steelies. A few browns and cutt. Dry action was moderate with terrestrial. Encountered a good Sulphur hatch towards evening. Nymphing was the key. Bead head pt's #14 was hot.

Cool...did you float or wade?

Wade fished. The river is on the low side. Very good level for wading. Still difficult with the bowling ball sized boulders though.Floating would be on the difficult side.
