The lot was almost full when we arrived to the tailwater section below Stagecoach. By the time we were rigged up and ready to make our way down to the river, the lot was full. Most of the fishermen headed for the upper river, so we decided to grab the bottom two holes, which were still open. There were fish around, but not really any of the larger fish we've become accustom to on this river. We fished for around 3 hours and I landed 8-9 fish, all in the 14-18 inch range. Chad landed one nice rainbow close to 20 inches.

The flows were up a little around 90 cfs and I caught all of my fish on black beaties and red midges.
