This river is open year-round to fishing, but ideal conditions usually begin after snowmelt recedes in late June and continues through early October. Currently, flows are around 370 cfs. It will be stocked this week with about 2,000 hatchery trout scattered across several release locations. Dead drifting a nymph fly or slow retrieving a small spinner can sometimes coax larger trout to bite. The river is usually stocked with trout between May and August
