From the benchWith flows up to 1,620 CFS, skip the middle of the river and work the soft seams along the banks and behind any large boulders — that's where trout are holding to avoid the push. During the BWO hatch window (roughly 11 AM to 3 PM), look for rising fish in the slower tailouts and flat water below riffles; position yourself downstream and cast upstream with a long, fine tippet to get a clean drag-free drift. If you're not seeing surface activity, run a heavy tungsten nymph tight to the bottom in the 2-4 foot depth range along current breaks — the elevated flow is concentrating fish in predictable lies and they're actively feeding to fuel up for fall.
