Flows have dropped down to about 250 cfs in the box. I would avoid floating the box in a drift boat unless you want to leave a lot of gel coat on the rocks. Wade access is great and you could probably run a raft down the box if you want to float. It’s streamer time in the box! My personal favorite streamer is a zonker! I like copper and crystal colors. There are plenty of trout rising by the dam. Blue wing olives and mahoganies will work well. The flows are low enough you can wade just about any where you want in the Box Canyon. The temps have been in the low to mid thirties in the morning but warming up nicely throughout the day. If you are going to be on the water first thing, make sure to layer up! Crowds have died and fishing has been pretty good!
