NW Outfitters's Tip of the Week
The Joe has been an option down low. Floating the lower can be good at these flows you just have to find the soft water. Nymphing has been the most productive, but streamers have had their moments as well as some dry fly action on the warmer days.

Techniques & Tips as of 3/27/24
Nymphing has been the key, but streamer fishing and dry fly fishing have had some good moments. The nice weather should bring out some decent bugs. Fish are podded up this time of year so if you find em don't be in a rush to leave em.
