Cold air. Cold Water. Quiet. But good flyfishing can be had with midges. |
| February |

Brrrr! Try flyfishing the first few miles just below dam where water is warmest.
Don't forget the handwarmers! |
| March |

Things start to warm up with spring hatches. Streamers sometimes surprise! |
| April |

Fish getting more active now as days get longer, but the weather also surprises now!
Be prepared...for both bad weather and great flyfishing. |
| May |

Nice weather, some great flyfishing. Snowpack melting, but BOR started heavy water
releases last month in anticipation, so the fish are well acclimated. |
| June |

Really enjoyable weather, lots of different "bugs" to choose
from. If you can't decide, hire a guide...they've figured it out! Usually
June gives us a great Cicadas showing...incredible! |
| July |

85 |
"Early to rise" is the word in summer...if you want to get the fish! Evenings
are great too! |
| August |

Take off those waders! Wade wet! Oh, did we mention all those noisy rafters having
too much fun? |
| September |

Indian summer...most beautiful time of year! Thin crowds. Thick fall hatches. |
| October |

59 |
Crisp autumn air. Predatory big Brown Trout fall for some big hatches. |
| November |

Expect snow in November, but also expect some of the best flyfishing! |
| December |

Flyfishing still good, but winding down. Good time to stay home and tie flys to give
as presents! |
