Report Summary for Jun 2026
This year: At the Falls Village stretch, the river is running at a very fishable, moderate summer flow of 288 CFS with clear water. Water temperatures are sitting right at 70°F, which is at the upper edge of the trout comfort zone. It is critical to monitor water temperatures closely, especially as afternoon air temperatures push into the upper seventies and eighties. Further downstream at Stevenson, flows have been averaging around 811 CFS. Concentrate your efforts during the cooler parts of the day when fish are most active. A variety of active insects are on the water, making technical presentations key to fooling selective trout. Be prepared with realistic imitations to match the hatches. Bring along a Tan Caddis, Olive Caddis, Sulphur Dun, and a Blue Wing Olive to cover your bases on the surface.
