The river is now running 800 cfm over night and starting at 8:00 am the flows increase 400 cfm an hour to ~ 3000 cfm. Fishing is good early before flows increase especially on "B" section where it is possible to stay ahead of the flows.
On the "A" the increased flows tend to have an adverse affect on fishing till afternoon when flows stabilize and fish reposition.
Dry fly action has been good w/ a varity of terrestrial patterns Ie: Ciadia's, Crickets, Hoppers, Ants, and Beatles.
A 2 or so foot tungston beadhead or scud as a dropper under the dry has been productive.
Streamers in the morn and eve or under cloudy low light conditions excellent.
Will try and get a few pics from last weeks 7 day swamp trip up today or tommarrow after unpacking and cleaning camp gear.

WELCOME BACK d
DROP BY AND SAY HELLO WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Sounds like an interesting month. I'm bringing a group over to the Green in September for some floatin' and fishin'. Can't wait.

some $$ shots in there :)

I like the summer TR's. Nice to see all the shizz that goes down in the off season.

And certainly better than reading some of the other threads that have surfaced lately.

A few more pics
Last weeks gig was 2 3day campovers as as swamper.
Swamping, while lacking some of the glory of guiding,
is awsome.
Your responsibilities are, the setup and breakdown of camp,
drinks, apps, dinner, and breakfast.
your days are free to be spent fishing, hiking, climbing or
just chillin on the river.

Some nice fish in there. Makes my heart ache to see pics of rowing red creek. Takes me back to my days on the Middle Fork....

Love this area. Hadn't been introduced to it until last year, but have went back and will continue to go back many times. Great pics and nice fish too. Lovin' the summer TR's! :cool:
