The sun is out this morning and air temperatures should hit the mid 40’s for the next couple of days. It will feel like Summer after the last few nights in the teens. We are still cold this morning so nymphing and slow swinging streamers will be the most productive methods until the water temps come up in the afternoon. We may see a very small bump in flows as the rest of the snow melts today. We did have some sun poking through the clouds yesterday that melted quite a bit of it already. The system is still running low so it won’t take much to warm it back up. A few hours of sun hitting the exposed rocks will bring the water temps back up. Nights will be cool for the while still but we shouldn’t dip back into the teens. Pheasant Tails, Hare’s Ears, and Copper Johns are all working well for nymphing.
It won’t be long before we see these wings back on the surface
