10/26 -- FAIR
10/19: "The fishing has recently begun to slow down compared to what it has been like for most of the fall season. I attribute this to decline in the midge hatches, the loss of sunlight in the canyon and the cooling weather."

"These low flows are so far great for fishing. It is not unusual to catch more than a handful of 18-20 inch fish a day, however, there are days when the larger fish just don’t want to eat and every small fish in the river appears ravenous. The low flows also provide us with more wading spots, which is one of the most effective ways to fish the Colorado River."

"Recent fishing has been all about streamers; I would say that the streamer fishing the last couple of weeks has been as good as I have ever seen it. We are also doing well with nymphs, both wading and drifting from the boat. Conditions are getting ready to change on September 1 when the water flows are going to drop to 8,000 cfs constant for all of September and October. Overall the fish population is the highest that it has been in years. The trout fishing at Lees Ferry continues to be better than we have seen in many years. "
8/16 -- GOOD
8/12: "The numbers are over the top and the fish are very healthy. We are landing a variety of sizes to keep things interesting."
8/3 -- FAIR
"Well monsoon season has hit the Cicadas and lowered the temperatures. August brings us new flows of 17,000cfs-9,000 so just down some from last month. I have not yet been with these waters but I believe it should play to our advantage."
7/26 -- GOOD
From 7/21: "Great day Midging. Bottom fish was on a Cicada. We beat the fish up under the surface today."
7/20 -- FAIR
No new reports. Flows dropped from 820 to 760 CFS over the last week.
7/13 -- GOOD
From July 6: "Our monsoon season has recently arrived bringing clouds, and welcome cooler weather. The trout fishing at Lees Ferry continues to be better than we have seen in many years. The AZ Game and Fish department has confirmed through creel surveys that fishing is better than it has been in more than a decade. The Trout are in superb condition, growing fast, and we are seeing fish of all sizes in the system which is indicative of a very healthy fishery and should continue that way for the foreseeable future. The Cicadas are singing and the fish have just recently begun to key in on them."
7/6 -- GOOD
"Its been a few since the last up date so I will give you a brief look at whats happening for the month of July. CICADAS. The bite is not if full swing but, there are several good runs thru the river that are producing healthy and active bows. The upper river seams to be louder with the buzzing of cicadas so we get a lot more dry action then the dropper."

"There is a buzz in the canyon. The cicadas are back. Each day they have been getting louder and louder. We have not switched to a full day of cicada fishing but have landed a few throughout the day in certain locations and in certain conditions. Fishing has remained consistently good with the high water of June. You just need to add line and weight to the standard nymphing rig."
