Below Mackay Reservoir

Flow out of Mackay Dam is down to around 300 cfs. Wading carefully is possible, and look for flow to drop further as we head into fall. Cool mornings are the rule, but by mid-day warm air temps will bring on good BWO, caddis and midge activity. So life cycle patterns for these will be effective. Terrestrial insect activity will also begin by mid day and will continue to be so until a killing frost.
