Every day we are seeing more Hendricksons on the water. The hatch is moving up the system quickly and it won’t be long before we see them system wide. We are also seeing good numbers of caddis, olives, and blue quills throughout the day. The fish are happy and rising. We had a few wind gusts yesterday overall it was pleasant out there and the bugs and fish didn’t mind. Today looks great with air temps forecasted in the 60’s and light winds. The rivers are still dropping from the rain last week and are hitting great levels for wading and floating.
