Anglers report good to excellent fishing in most sections of the river. Of course, the 25,000 rainbows stocked earlier this summer are greatly helping the catch rates. Please remember the slot-limit size range has changed from 13–20 inches to 15–22 inches to make regulations more consistent statewide. Grasshoppers and other top-water fishing was good using imitations. Also, match the hatches, try to be aware of what's emerging and adjust accordingly. Nymphing is still a good technique, and streamers are also working. Try size 2–4 buggers such as Goldilox and patterns in olive, pink and white. Spin fishermen should try small Rapalas (floating, countdown and husky jerk); small spinners; black, brown or olive marabou jigs; and small plastic jigs. Please check to see that your tube jigs do not contain fish-attracting scents; they are illegal to use in the river.
