Big Lost River, April 7th, 2020

Flow out of Mackay Dam currently is about 132 cfs, making the river below very approachable for wading.  This flow rate has been near constant for several days, and with warming weather  stream-side ice & snow is disappearing. Midge and BWO activity make presenting life cycle patterns effective and the same can be said for presenting any small or medium sized nymph patterns.  Social distancing is an active part of fly-fishing, so getting out to the water is about as safe an activity around.
