Floated from Hurdlow to Old Dam Ford 09/07/15. Water clear, cooler than past years, plenty of weeds, flow 240 CFS. I have been fishing the Elk since 1988 and have never encountered the number of boats with fisherman that I encountered on 09/07/15. There weren't a lot of "party people" like usual at the Hurdlow Bridge just plenty of good old boys & girls fishing the river. On the positive ran into several good hatches of an unknown surface bug...most of the fly fisherman I met were using 14 Adams and olive wooly boogers. All seem to be catching fish. Cooler water this year has created a better than usual fish bite further down stream. Ran into a few fish with great color. All rainbows-no browns caught.
