Big Lost River, July 24th, 2021

With flow out of Mackay Dam around 150 cfs, wading is quite easy. Some PMDs and western green drakes with PM caddis are emerging, so life cycle patterns will produce. Traditional attractors such as renegades, Wulff series patterns, stimulaters, and humpies. Terrestrial insect are coming on. With the Conservancy’s Silver Creek closure and the low flows in the Wood River drainage, visitors are arriving here and along Copper Basin waters.
