The section downstream from the Benton Bridge to the monument is now closed until the Saturday preceding Memorial Day of 2008.?? You may fish UPSTREAM from the bridge which has special regulations and is currently open all year.?? You may also fish downstream from the monument to Crowley with special regulations until November 15th.?? All of the open areas are fishing well and the mid-day hatches are a real "treat" if you enjoy surface action.?? There are still some lingering hoppers as well as fall caddis and ever increasing hatches of bwo and trico mayflies.

Streamers will terrorize the trout this time of year using a light to moderate sinking tip line and the "dip and strip" method working the deep side and cut banks of the channel.?? Haunting the trout with a streamer is my favorite method this time of year to get a Franken trout to hit your imitation.?? Spruce-a-Bu's, Loebergs, Agent Orange, #8-12.??
