Yesterday was windy but if you are willing to fish below the surface, and don't mind scraping weeds off split shot and flies you are going to hook fish right now.  The nymph fishing was great.  There were a few fish rising but it was spotty, and we landed some fish on some swung streamers as well.  This may be the nicest November weekend we've ever seen so it's a great weekend to get out.  The canyon section seemed to have less wind.  We caught fish on some baetis nymphs, orange beaded flies, and the Tailwater Charlie produced the whole day.  Water is high, and a lot of normal structure is flooded for this time of the year... maybe it will move those weeds out but we need some cold weather this winter to clean the system.

Nymphing continues to be great.  That's probably not what you want to hear.  You'll get em, but the odds are stacked against you if  you're seeking topwater activity.  You'll have to spend some time on the river to hit the right condtions.  If you like the depths, come on down.



The next few days have a glimmer of hope.  The river just dropped a notch in flows. Wind is generally out of the picture.  Temperatures in the 50's to low 60's will prevail.  The sky will be "mostly" sunny through Monday.  After that, it turns sunny.  Catch a cloud and you might catch a break.  Where did all this awesome weather come from? 



If you're tired of prospecting water with attractor patterns, dredging the bottom with nymphs or seeking bank feeders, throw a streamer.  It's not too late.
