Below Mackay Dam

Flow out of Mackay Dam is slightly higher that normal (215 cfs vs 188 cfs) but wading conditions are good.. Late afternoon BWO activity and remaining bank side terrestrial insects are resulting in some good top water fishing in the river below Mackay Dam. Presenting traditional nymph patterns in small and medium sizes work earlier in the day. A few dry fly enthusiasts are venturing in from the Sun Valley area to find relief from crowded Silver Creek.
