With 550 cfs coming out of Mackay Dam wading remains tough in the river below.  Best fishing is in or on just below Copper Basin right now. Look for caddis, PMDs, sallys, golden stonefly and traditional dry patterns to bring action.

Water flow gage just below Mackay Dam has a recent profile that looks like Monument Valley.   Right now  flow is around 660 cfs, but in the last few days it has varied from 400 cfs to 1300 cfs. Not good for fishing!

Flow out of Mackay Dam went from about 250 cfs up to near 500 cfs a day or two ago. Now it is down to around 400 cfs.  Makes for tough wading,and fluctuations like this are tough on fishing.

Flow out of Mackay Dam was stepped down to 280 cfs Sunday. That means the river below can be waded.  Midge and some BWOs activity should pick up as river stabilizes.
