A fairly large number of salmon are also in the system. They are on their redds and the steelhead are right with them. You'll find the majority of spawning fish from Hammond Grove to the Park's Bar Bridge. Globug with a nymph dropper is doing well. It is really important to walk around these redds, rather than walking through them.
Water is very clear and wading is excellent.
For resident wild trout caddis patterns are working well, especially nymphs. The river closed above Park's Bar Bridge for all of October and November. The water levels will probably remain at tbis level until we get substantial rains. The low flow is 600cfs and the afterbay is 900cfs making a total of 1500cfs below the bay. This is an increase of 300cfs.
