Bear Creek River Report

Flows have dropped with some cooler nights, but may boost up a tad with some nice weather expected this weekend. Through the canyon nearing Evergreen Lake, expect ice, especially in the shaded areas. Lower down the canyon has been more consitent as of recent. Expect fish to be in the deepest water available. Midges have been the primary hatch.
