Some people found awesome dry fly fishing on hendricksons yesterday while other people did really well nymphing. It sounded like a solid day to be on the water either way. The wind wasn’t kind for a little while in the afternoon but that didn’t seem to bother the bugs. If you don’t find fish by mid afternoon move around and check out other areas. The river flows are dropping slowly and everything is in great shape this morning. Today will be warm again hitting 60 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 10 – 15 from the West which should be workable.
