We are starting off the day with higher water temperatures again so it’s time to fish with your thermometer. The forecast is calling for the sun to break out this morning and stay with us all day, air temps in the 70’s, and light winds with gusts to 11 mph. The hatches seem to be either earlier or later in the day due to the water temps. We are seeing a good mix of little olives, cahills, sulphurs, and isonychias. Don’t leave the river too early. During the day nymphing has been effective with some fish rising on shaded banks.
Please keep an eye on the water temps today. If the sun does pop the rivers will heat up quickly.
