The bright sun has made the mid day dryfly fishing sporadic. There have been some fish working but you need to be patient and cover them well on the first shot. Nymphing has been decent throughout the day in the riffles. The evenings have been fishing well once the sun drops enough to put some shade on the water. Look for a mix of March Browns, Gray Fox, Tan Caddis, Sulphurs, and maybe a few Green Drakes. We were in jackets last night and the temp dropped but today is going to feel like Summer.
Brown Drakes should offer some fishing soon!
