It was another pretty decent day out there Sunday, albeit mostly in the late evening downriver, and later in the afternoon up river. The sun was pretty hot through the middle of the day, but we did see some clouds show up and cool things down a tad. Below Ball’s Eddy fished well in the evening, but the bugs shut right off around 7:30 / 8:00 and the fish followed suit. Today, the temps are supposed to be significantly lower, and substantially more clouds are predicted which should yield a pretty good day river-wide. Assuming the knuckleheads who make these forecasts get it right, of course!
