The Fishing: There have been a lot of good reports coming in the shop the last few days.  Double nymph rigs have had a lot of success and the streamer bite has been great as well due to the recent overcasts we have had. Fish haven’t really been looking up a whole lot.

Water Conditions: The river has turned over so the water visibility has been low. There is much more exposed gravel due to the breaking up of the weeds. Afterbay to Red Cliffs has been very clean, however, Red Cliffs to Bighorn has the most weeds right now. Bighorn to Two Leggins has been very clean and only gets better as you travel farther down the river.
