Comment:	The tailwaters' pools and riffles are a joy to fly-fish at low water. With good technique, you can catch all the 10- to 15-inch trout you want, and perhaps some two- to four-pounders dead-drifting sowbug/scud/nymph patterns or working Woolly Buggers and soft-hackle flies, but don't expect a bigger one (except during the spawn when large fish are in shallow water). At low water, big trout are inclined to sulk in deep pools and not actively feed during the day. Three-to five-pound fish cruise the shallows and sometimes enter the riffles at dusk, but the really big ones normally feed at night or in deeper water. The frequency and duration of power generation has increased dramatically over the years. In the past, fly fishermen fished when the water was low and went home when it came up. Guides with paying customers don't have this luxury. Large brown trout are known for feeding at night, and the other species will also. During summer, when the rivers are pounded by day and temperatures are severe, night fishing is both comfortable and exciting. Pick a sale and familiar place to wade, go out when the water is down (which it usually is on summer nights), and tie on a big black or olive Wooly Bugger. Trout often cruise at night. Position yourself in a fishy spot and let them some to you. If that doesn't work, move.
