Well I’m kind of tired of the inaccuracy of Accuweather. The winds felt two times what was predicted and the bottom fell out of the air temp mid afternoon. It definitely hurt the hatching yesterday and made the fish more hesitant to rise. There were sections of the system that fished okay. Hopefyully this front is finished moving and everything will settle back down to normal. Today should have a high air temp of 66 degrees and the winds should be low. We have clouds this morning and it looks like a decent fishing day. The small hendricksons are coming to an end and the March Browns and Gray Foxes are here. Green Drakes are just starting on some sections and should offer some great fishing over the next couple of weeks.
