Patiently Waiting


Well, we are officially making our way into the back end of August. Wow, this season has flown by! The past few weeks have been interesting, stable conditions but the fish just haven’t quite keyed in on the surface bugs. Hoppers bouncing around and trico clouds swarming in the morning, the fish just aren’t wanting to look up. Our inside source has notified us of another drop in flows coming this Monday, August 26. Grey Reef will be dropping to 2,300cfs and the Mile to 800cfs. This might just be the drop we’ve been waiting for to send things into warp drive. We know our guide crew is looking forward to it!

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