Soda continues to draw a crowd, particularly along the lowermost section of the river above the Lamar confluence (no surprises here).

One of the things we like about the northeast corner now is that there are a host of bugs you have a chance of encountering on the river.  You need to be ready for the big Green Drakes, Olives, smaller tan Drakes, midges (late), Epeorus, and Flavs; terrestrials other than hoppers are still in play too including ants, bees, crickets and beetles.

There are several very good weeks left as the season nears mid-September back here; just be prepared to do some hiking to leave the crowds behind and find some less educated and beat up fish.
