The freezing temperatures broke last night and it’s actually comfortable outside this morning. We should hit 50 degrees today with a possibility of 1/2″ of rain. This will be great for the reservoirs and the system as a whole. We will have to deal with some wind once the weather pushes in so your best bet for dryfly action will be in protected areas. The rivers did warm up a bit last night but it will take a while to peak today- especially with the overcast skies. Nymphing may be a better option. If the rain begins to cloud the river we may get some decent streamer action.
The nymphs will get more active as the water warms up
