The Keno section opened up in October. For agile anglers who hike down the canyon, there are good numbers of 14-18 inch rainbows, and not a few trout over five pounds. The best fishing is when the dam output is under 1,000-1,200 cfs. The level is reported on Westfly (see the "report" pages), but the gage is unreliable. If it isn't working, call 800-547-1501 for a flow report.

A large purple or black Woolly Bugger or Rubber Legs dead drifted near the bottom works well. Present the fly near current seams, between boulders, and any place you find slow water near fast water.

The section below Boyle is open and should have fair fishing for anglers using Zug Bugs or Princes near the bottom. Most anglers, however, would rather fish the Keno stretch at this time of year because it is closer and holds bigger fish.
