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.

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:

6/28 -- GOOD
No reports since 6/21. Therefore downgrading. Fluctuating between 24,000 and 26,000 daily.

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.

6/21 -- GOOD
Flows steady around 24,000, but no new reports since 6/15 so downgrading a notch.

Latest report 6/15:
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.

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.

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.

6/7 -- POOR
No new reports... What the heck is going on? Assume poor in the absence of info. Flows at 22,000 CFS, fairly stable over the last week.
6/3 -- FAIR
Flows consistent at 23,000 CFS. No new reports since 5/25, though, so downgrading from excellent to fair in absence of info.
5/27 -- EXCELLENT
Best fishing upriver, plus now crowds. Midges, san juan worms and scudes. Fish by boat (high flows).

Latest report 5/25:
http://www.leesferry.com/report/index.php
5/24 -- GOOD
No new reports. Presume no major changes since this is a tailwater. Call or email a guide or fly shop.

Latest report 5/16:
http://www.leesferry.com/report/index.php
5/20 -- GOOD
No newer reports (since 5/16). High flows mean float fishing. Use san juan worms and scuds.

5/17 -- GOOD
High flows so fish by boat, drifting scuds and san juan worms.
