As of 2/1/10 the flows are 1000 cfs with the visibility approximately 2-2 1/2 feet and improving daily.  The water temperature is in the low fifties.

Pick a Fly-Any Fly

There are still a few Skwala stoneflies egg-laying during the warmest part of the day along with PMD’s, BWO’s, and a few early March Browns.  The hatches are sporadic and you can go all day only seeing a few bugs and only one or two fish rising.

The best bet, if you don’t see any working fish, is to nymph a small brown stonefly pattern with a red San Juan Worm as a dropper about a foot off the nymph.

Swinging an olive crystal bugger with a #16 tan Bird’s Nest off the back on an intermediate line has also been productive.
