Slide Inn, 8/14

www.slideinn.com

Well...They dropped it again. Now runinng 870 cfs out of the dam, which is actually normal for this time of year, we'll see if the PPL will break they current record of six days of consistent flows. In other news, we have two words for you...FLYING ANTS. Thousands of flying ants crawled out of the ground around the slide area last night, and some of our guests wrecked house on Ant Acids up on Quake Lake. So make sure you have a few in your box before heading out to the river today, because if the flying ant bite is on there's not too much that can top it. In addition to ants, Green bodied beetles, red attractors, and small tan hoppers continue to be the top terrestrial producers during afternoons on the river. There were a few Epeorus spinners on the water last night, along with some small caddis and midges, and the fish were actually rising steadily to them from about 8:30-9:15 last night (at Raynolds Pass at least). Nymphs are also taking some nice fish off the bottom-- small brown hare's ears, #16-18 green caddis pupa, three dollar dips,#14-16 princes, and shop vacs being some of the better staples in our boxes over the last few days.
