Notes

I started off fishing the big confluence run between the two bridges. It was a beautiful afternoon but nothing was hatching at first. I nymphed with various small nymphs and stonefly patterns without any success whatsoever. About 1/2 hour before dark I walked upstream and found that the riffle below the train bridge is perfect 3' for wading with this low water. I didn't have any success nymphing, but it should be a good nymphing spot during low flows.
