George with his last cast of the day.  Great way to end the trip!  Great job guys!!

Recent rains raised the water levels to 4,950 bringing with it new steelhead up the river system.  Water clarity is still slightly stained making streamer fishing a very good choice in the up-coming weeks.  The Stone fly hatch is increasing significantly in select areas of the river.  We also witnessed increasing rises of trout slamming Stones.  Look for trout fishing to explode very soon!
