you can get the bass but the water will still be off color where on the river will you be fishing i would recomend using a sink tip line with a weighted bass fly unless water is not muddy then poppers

the flow is going to be pretty heavy. I havent fished it this early before. i think it was at 4500 when i check yesterday.
Good luck

We cancelled our annual trip over Memorial Day due to the flow being over 10,500 cfs. Could be blown still
