Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 520cfs

Fishing is strong in the Parshall area with hatches of #18 Midges coming off at about 1:00. Days following cooler nights tend to produce clearer water, but we have had good success fishing the stained water following warmer nights as well. In clear water stick to midge and Baetis nymphs in sizes 20-24. If things are a little bit stained try larger beadhead attractor patters such as Hot Wire Princes, Hot Wire Caddis, and Soft Hackle Phesant tails in about a size 16. We recently had a client catch fish after fish in stained water with a size 16 Hot Wire Prince. Don't let a little runoff scare you off!
