March 10, 2010: Water levels are rising bringing more steelhead into the river system. Egg patterns, stoneflies, and small fry patterns are all on the menu right now. Swinging flies during the low light periods is productive as water temps are up slightly. Trout fishing is really getting good. Stoneflies, scuds, and midge larvae are all work great when fished in the soft water on the sides of the river or in slight chop.

Walleye are very abundant as a bonus fish right now. Pictured is Todd with a walleye from yesterday.
