(617 cfs) With the water on its way down, fishing will be tough for the next week or so, until fish acclimate to the low flows. Hoppers have been the name of the game finally. The Pinks are still going in the heat of the day and some Caddis in the evening. Also, keep an eye open for the Flavs and Crane flies, too.

Flies you MUST have in your fly box when you go: #8/10 Grasshoppers, #16/18 Pink Alberts, #16/14/12 Elk Hair Caddis, #10 Flav, #10 Crane fly

(196 cfs) Fishing on the Owyhee has been hit or miss lately. Hopper fishing has been epic this Summer. But, fish are starting to get pretty keen to floating foam. Taking spring creek tactics to the Owyhee will help catch more fish. Leader free presentation and lighter tippet will help. Look for the Mahoganies and a small afternoon Caddis hatch. The morning fishing has actually been quite good with every fish up looking at Midges or chasing streamers...hint, hint.

Flies you MUST have in your fly box when you go: #8/10 Grasshoppers, #16/18 Mahogany Duns, #10 Crane fly, #20/22 Midges, #16 Caddis

(478 cfs) Both the North Fork and Middle Fork are fishing well. There are Hoppers everywhere! You will notice that the fish size on the Middle Fork is slightly larger, but they are not monsters anyway. Try fishing the classic attractor patterns in the morning and as the heat increases the Hoppers will become more active and jump in the water. Look for Caddis in the evening.

Flies you MUST have in your fly box when you go: #14/16 Royal Wulff, #14/12 Stimulator, #16/14 Parachute Adams, #8/10 Parachute Hopper, #14/16 Parachute Caddis
