RECORDED: 81 ° FISHING: Good
The water level is now around 180cfs at Service Creek!
It has cleared up after the recent rains and the fishing should be good.

The fish are concentrated in the deeper pools, drifts and eddys.

Streamers, buggers and drifted nymphs are good until late morning fished with a sink tip and short 3x leader. Watch for the topwater activity to switch over late morning and into the evening, then change over to hair poppers, frogs, dragons flies and even big dries (like salmon flies) for some explosive topwater action.

At this water level the river has become unfloatable!

Keep a close eye out for Rattle Snakes. It's been a good year!
