The Lower Blue has just come up and is now well into the floatable range. Wade fishing will be pushy, so bring your wading staff if you decide to attempt it! Expect to find clear water in the canyon and for things to get progressively more off color if you're floating. Fishing big bugs should help remedy this.

Wading Recommendations: Tung Teaser, Tungsten Prince, Tungsten Copper John, Barr's Pure Midge Larva Black and Red, JuJuBee Zebra and Red, Disco Midge Red, WD40, Griffiths Gnat, #22-24 Parachute Adams, Brooks Sprout.
