The good times continue on the lower. Was out there yesterday with a friend and did pretty well. The BWO hatch is stronger on the overcast days. Yesterday it took a while to get going (around 1pm), but didn't last long after the wind picked up. Still managed to hook a few on the surface and under the indicator. My buddy was using his czech setup, and stuck a few fish that way as well on what I'd consider large euro nymphs. Bottom line is it's not very crowded down here, and a huge portion of the river can be fished without the need for a drift boat. Walking and wading this river is easy at these flows!
