7/1 -- FAIR
Predictions that the peak have passed have been wrong. "Guessing game" now (Frying Pan Angler), and Reudi may overflow this weekend. No information on actual fishing. Downgrade due to double uncertainty.Latest reports 6/29:

6/28 -- GOOD
Frying Pan Anglers (below), believed flows had peaked, but then they rose, so you tell me. High but clear. Midges, BWO's, caddis, PMD's. Dropping water expected, should help fishing.Latest reports 6/27:
http://www.fryingpananglers.com/
6/24 -- GOOD
Flows crested at 800 this week, and is now down to 630-- the peak has passed. Could hit 300 next week. Lower flows should dislodge the cluster of fisherman below the toilet bowl (21 spotted recently), dispersing them throughout the river. Shrimp, BWO's, midges, caddis.Latest reports 6/23:
http://thetroutfly.com/fishreport.html
6/21 -- FAIR
Steady but high at 790 CFS. Fishable up to 850, but only on <5% of the river. "You have the flats below the dam, where you may have to take a number just to get in, and the stillwater areas around 7 Castles can be somewhat fishable at this level, which is pretty much the maximum flow this small river can handle." Caddis, pmd's.Latest reports 6/19:

6/17 -- POOR
Flows up to 900 CFS due to heat-induced snowmelt, more than 2X monday. Reports a little old, so must downgrade since flows rising substantially.Latest report 6/14:
http://www.fryingpananglers.com/
6/13 -- FAIR
Shrimp, BWO's, midges. Flows just jumped from 430 to 570, so call ahead. Slight downgrade due to info void and higher flows.Latest report 6/13 (though it doesn't really look updated):
http://www.taylorcreek.com/fprr.htm
6/10 -- GOOD
"The Frying Pan is your best bet for your fishing addiction right now" (see below). Higher up is better. Shrimp, BWO's, midges. Flows fairly stable at 450 CFS.Latest report 6/9:
http://www.taylorcreek.com/fprr.htm
6/7 -- GOOD
Flows fairly stable (slowly rising) between 400 and 450 CFS. Midges, BWO's. Hard to tell how current this report is.Latest report 6/5 (?):

http://www.fryingpananglers.com/

BWO's in the rain, plus midges. Dry flies when not raining. Otherwise, nymphing is productive.Latest report 5/22:
