June 26, 2009: River levels continue to drop making and the river is at a fine fishing level for trout. Water temperatures are rising; the best trout fishing opportunities are morning and evening. Isonychias hatches are fair in localized areas. Gray drake spinner falls are remarkably heavy but late (pictured) and can be found in certain parts of the river. Expect good BWO hatches in coming weeks. Smallmouth bass fishing is fair but improving.
