We’re coming off another cold night so water temps are looking good again this morning even on the lower East and Mainstem. The air temp will reach the high 60’s today with a mix of sun and clouds, wind 3 – 4 mph. It sounds like another great day to be on the water. We’re not seeing any rain in the forecast until Friday. We’re still seeing a good amount of caddis mixed with sulphurs, isonychias, a few green drakes, cahills, and pale evening duns. The mayflies have been sporadic during the bright sunshine but pick up as the sun drops. Today looks like a good spinner day if you’re on the water late.
