Yesterday was the nicest day we’ve seen all year. Low winds, sunshine, and comfortable air temperatures. Today looks like a mirror image but with even less wind. 1 mph mid day from the East climbing to 8 mph in the evening. It’s going to be a great day on the water. The rivers are dropping back and there are a few people wading some sections. Streamers are still catching fish and we are seeing hendricksons, blue quills, and black caddis. The early hatches can be a bit sporadic in the beginning as they grow so be patient out there looking for risers.
