7/6 -- GOOD
Flows dropped to 18,000 on the 4th, then back to 25,000 (may take a day or so for fish to adjust). Minimal wading opportunities, so float. Cicadas building. Midges, scuds, san juan worms.Latest reports 7/1:

7/1 -- FAIR
Information blackout. Alien abduction of fly shops and guides? Area 51? Downgrading again due to information void. Call ahead. Flows still gyrating between 24,000 and 26,000 CFS (alien brainwaves? fishing report morse code?), so may actually be good. Call ahead. Fellas, help us out with some reports so we can figure out what the hell is going on!Latest reports 6/21:

6/24 -- VERY GOOD
Lots of surface "sipping". "The fish seem really content and are gorging themselves with a buffet of midges, worms, fresh water shrimp, and a few cicadas on steroids." Flows up a little from 24,000 to 26,000. High flows stir up food. Fish deep or near banks.Latest reports 6/21:

http://www.leesferry.com/report/index.php
6/17 -- VERY GOOD
High, hovering around 24,000 CFS (should continue into the fall). "Extended high water is just like “dumping fish steroids” into the river." What more can you say? Midges, scuds, worms.Latest report 6/15:
http://www.leesferry.com/report/index.php
6/13 -- GOOD
High flows at 24,000. Another fishing report blackout -- nothing since 6/9, when it was very good. Slight downgrade in absence of info and flows being only slightly up.Latest report 6/9:

6/10 -- VERY GOOD
Finally, the silence has been broken. Flows near 23,000 (high). Success requires adapting techniques, e.g., long nymphing rig, double indicator, etc. (see report). San juan, scuds.Latest report 6/9:
