I caught two 15-inchers last Sunday swinging a size 6 or 8 olive wooly bugger / sculpin type pattern.

AR flow is going down from 3,500 to 3,000 cfs 9/6/2019.

Higher flows are good for fish and good for boat anglers.

2,000 cfs is good for wading, especially if you are in your 70s and have a 28 inch inseam.

Went to Sailor Bar today. Had a nice 24"+ fish jump in front of me that taunted my morning. No takes. Swung bugs and streamers.

Steelheading.

Just keep going......

I think I will be at Watt on Wednesday evening.

Is this 9/16 release of 2100 CFS just an error? It looks like it didn't happen

Went out to Bill Pond tonight. Saw another fly fisher downstream- tried to walk up to him to ask how his night was going but he kept moving downstream every time I got closer. Haha, oh well.

No takes, no fish etc. Saw a massive caddis hatch around 7pmish, and didn't see a single fish rise in the stretch of water I was in. Kind-of surreal.

I am going to be at Watt Avenue Wednesday evening, tomorrow.

Dumping gravel across the hatchery turned portions of the river unfishable with murky water. Fished further down the river and caught two halfpounders. Swinging caddis pupa did the job.

Put a STOP �� to the restoration projects! You can’t mess with Mother Nature, it will always backfire!
