Flow: 385

Water Temp: 62

We’ve had a busy week with great guests and constantly changing river. On top of it all we made a jaunt down to Gunnison to explore Tomichi Creek (we’ll be helping out with the Ride With Autism next summer). Tomichi was a fun break fishing clear small streams for little browns and it’s a great reminder of how fortunate we are living minutes, or seconds in my case from quality trout, food and friends. I appreciate all the waves as we hang out, fish and BBQ.

Conditions have been up and down on the river as much as the flow. Clarity matches the current and the trout are moving with it. SJW, buggers, Johnny flash and hare’s ears produced the bigger trout. 4G mobile coverage throughout the tailwater allows for easy access to check the flows, and it’s recommended to do so. Cover lots of water and don’t skip the submerged clusters scattered about. Conditions will continue to improve as fall approaches. Thanks for the great days.

Tight lines,

Ben
