The Southeast was hit hard the last few days by rain. Stream conditions will vary with the Whitewater getting hit the hardest. The Root is off color but fishable.

The streams are going to be in tough fishing shape today. The heavy rain looks like it is over for a few hours but more is expected. Go to the Greatwaters fly fishing show in bloomington today.

The Southeast has experienced more run-off as the temps have caused the North face slopes to run off their snow. The streams and creeks that are shortest in length will be your best bet for the weekend. Conditions WILL be variable. Rain could bring more high water.

The catch, and releasing of course, has improved greatly from the opening day blues that struck us all. Anglers throughout the system have been successful and it should continue. The pink squirell in #16 made its appearance with good results, hares ears and pheasant tails in 16 and 18 and # 20 Zebra midges all […]
