This is the coldest morning yet. The water temperatures all dropped back a few degrees and the rivers are in great shape this morning. We should have a partly sunny sky with a mild temperature in the mid 60’s. Yesterday afternoon / evening had decent hatching on most of the river. Besides our steady blue winged olives there were more isonychias, cahills, and hebes on the water. Nymphing and swinging wets should be a decent method- especially with the hebes around. The weekend is shaping up well with the same weather pattern sticking around and maybe some rain on Sunday.
The last few days have felt and fished like Fall
