We have been blessed with six weeks of constant low flows at a time when the Browns are spawning, There have been numerous reports of large browns hitting on the Turk Tarantula. Brown’s on a dry Fly? It just doesn’t get much better than this. The last three days there has been constant flows around 450 CFS. For me this is the ideal flow for fishing. Great access, lots of great water and stability which makes fish happy and hungry. I hope you all have had a chance to get up to the club during this time. If not you need to get up there and do some fishing. Even a hour or two makes for a great day of fishing. There are so many great places to fish with these flows that it is downright hard to make a decision where to fish.

On another note, the new license conditions call for Oxbow Dam being primarily used to moderate the flows during the Oct through March time frame. This 500 CFS constant flow is what I am hoping we will have in the future. This will be a huge improvement to the river habitat , environment and to us anglers. Hopefully we can get PCWA & PG&E to start implementing this part of the new license ASAP.
