12/07/16 River Report
River Flow 970 CFS - Visibility Clear - AM Water Temp 35'F. - A slight chance of light rain before noon. - Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Light and variable wind becoming west around 6 mph in the afternoon. - Water levels are coming down and the river is clear, so it's time to break out the big rods, sink tip lines and big streamers !! - It's also time to break out the spey rod !! -  Search the water in the morning by swinging big streamers for Rainbows and Browns. - When the water levels drop a little bit more; switch over to a big Stone Fly nymph or San Juan Worm with an Egg dropper and nymph the water more closely. -  Egg Patterns are fishing well as trout are into spawning mode.  - At this time of year it's best to get on the river a little later in the morning. - This gives the sun a chance to warm up the river a couple degrees. - The fish will become more active in the slightly warmer water. 
Try nymphing deep during the day with a two fly rig.- On your two fly nymph rig start with Rubber Leg Stone Fly nymph or San Juan Worm and an Egg Pattern as a dropper. - Streamer fishing is a great way to cover water and to find fish. - Swing streamers for Trout behind exposed boulders in all the deeper riffles & pools. - Then go back and deep nymph over any river section that produced takes on streamers.
