Last night was a cold, cold one. Most of the system is starting off with water temperatures in the 30’s this morning. It looks like our air temperatures will stay below freezing today and even drop back into the teens tonight. We do have some sun right now which feels good. We start a warming trend tomorrow and should see overcast skies with air temperatures in the 40’s. Thursday should hit 50 with some light rain. The only benefit of the low water is that it will warm up quicker.
If you do fish today it looks like a nymphing game. You may pick up some fish slow swinging streamers in the larger pools. Either way dress warm and be prepared to clean the ice out of your guides.
We should see the hatches start again this week as the weather warms up
