Current Streamflow: 417 cfs @ Northgate Canyon

The Northgate canyon has flows growing which means it is time to start checking this water out. Nymphing is still most productive with the cold water temps, however we will see a lot more bug activity over this next week of warmer weather! Have fun out there and stay safe! Come on in to the shop and ask us about this section!
