Fished over Thanksgiving on Elk and couldnt believe the fish numbers. Fish in every riff which really helps spread out the fishermen. Fished again on Elk Wed and Thurs of this week and same thing - 6 to 12 fish in every rapid. Many many hookups and fish landed. Water flow is excellent and modestly stained. Wholly buggers and nymphs did the trick for me and offers a different look then the traditional egg and spawn patterns.
