The angler willing to walk can get away from the crowds. The Conservancy has five unreserved rod spots per day, but you have to get there early to get on. Best action is from first light to noon, and again from 6pm to dark. Afternoon fishing slows, but is still worthwhile. The trout are starting to key in on the caddis and smaller mayfly nymphs.
Stoneflies are still around, but are dying out.
The aggressive wader catches the most fish on the Pit. Best action is from 6am to noon, and again from 6pm to dark. Most consistent stretch is from Box Canyon downstream to Soda Creek. Good dry fly fishing late in the evening with PED, small caddis, and attractor dries. A few stoneflies are still out, but the hatch is slowing.
