If you’ve been watching Grey Reef flows you’re probably wondering what has been going on? 3,600cfs, down to 2,100cfs, then back up to 3,400cfs. Apparently the Bureau of Rec has been dealing with an issue at the power plant in Fremont Canyon, hence the elevated flows in Fremont as well. From the looks of it the issue has been resolved and we are back in business. Water temperatures continue to hold in the highs 50s/low 60s, ideal for this time of year! With the number of hoppers we are seeing in some areas and higher Grey Reef flows, we could be setting up for a good foam-fly season. Streamer fishing is definitely happening on the right day so make sure to pack the sink-tip or full sink line.

If you are planning on heading this way make sure to buy your license before you arrive.
