Finally Coming Down

After a month of water flows 10000cfs or more, the river is finally on it’s way down. The local rumor mill says the flows are supposed to be down to 7000cfs by next Tuesday 7/14. It will be interesting to see how the drop effects the fishing. Right now we are seeing some PMD’s, caddis, and yellow sallies. We are hoping that the fish will get a little more interested in some top water feeding with some lower flows. Last week we had a guest at the lodge that described fishing the Horn in high water the best, “We’re catching plenty of fish, having a lot of fun. Best of all it’s like fishing a completely different river at these flows”. I thought that was a great description of the river and the fishing. Another comment on the fishing I thought rang true came from Keri after fishing with her and the kids yesterday, “fishing is kind of stupid right now!”. I replied with yes it is. It’s always fun when you can go down any river with a 6 year old and let him catch fish all on his own.
