It's definitely fishable and floatable right now.  The water is still a bit cold, but nymphing and streamers are good bets right now.  Salmonfly nymphs are what you need to be throwing right now orange/brown rubber legs, hogan's stone roller, copper stones and pink or red san jauns.  Streamers are another option sparkle minnows, kreelex, peanuts, dungeons and silvey sculpins in whites, olives and blacks.
