East Portal- GOOD- We have been having a fair amount of success down in the portal lately. Seeing sparse hatches of Midges. There are still a few fish spawning so be sure to watch out for the fish on reds. The portal will be closing any day now with the up coming weather so be sure to check back to make sure that you don't make a trip up there to find out that the gate have been closed for the winter.

Some fish are still chasing streamers but most of the fish are being caught on nymphs.
