Big Lost River 8-2-14

Flow out of Mackay Dam has dropped from a little over 200 cfs to 160 cfs in the last few days. This means easier wading, warmer afternoon water temperatures, less overhead cover, and therefore a greater need for being stealthy and for playing fish quickly.   Some western green drakes remain here, but terrestrial patterns are becoming more effective.  Tricos are yet to be important, but should begin to be such any day now.
