Fly box
Highest-ranked match for january, trout water profile. Match the hatch and the release schedule. Drift seams and soften the presentation when the water clears.
Bite by hour · 5 AM–9 PM
The 69 daily score is the rounded average of all 17 fishing-hour scores shown here. Weather is estimated; flow and generation are applied when available. Scores are a relative bite outlook, not a catch probability.

Verify public access and private boundaries before departure.
Hydropower release
Check generation schedules, flood warnings, posted closures, special-zone rules, permits, and current regulations immediately before fishing.
How the outlook works
The selected water uses live hourly weather, available USGS streamflow, and official generation schedules. Its daily bite score is the average of the 17 hourly outlooks from 5 AM through 9 PM, so the directory and full report use the same number. Each hour weights seasonal activity, low light, air temperature, rain, wind, streamflow, and active dam generation; unsafe storm or excessive-flow conditions reduce the outlook. Fly patterns are ranked for the water profile, season, temperature, rain, wind, preferred flow range, and dam activity; the alternate is always the next-highest distinct pattern. The site retries slow feeds and keeps a short-lived last-good reading instead of dropping to a blank state. Generation start and cutoff times come from the official schedule; downstream rise and recovery windows are clearly labeled estimates.
