Yesterday fished very well with hendricksons through most of the day. We had some spinners mixed in with the duns in the afternoon. Some people never had to leave their spot to find more fish. We had a few showers pass through in the afternoon and overnight but the rivers look good this morning and are still dropping back. There were some caddis out there and still some blue quills but the hendricksons seemed to be the bug of choice for the surface feeders. We’ll be in the high 50’s today with some wind but the bugs should come and the fish will rise along the banks and protected areas. We start a warming trend tomorrow that will make it feel like summer out there.
