We saw some clouds yesterday but did not get the cloud cover we were led to believe we’d see from Wunderground. There were some fish landed during the day on caddis but the better dry fly fishing happened after the sun started to drop. Nymphing and swinging wets were the best bets during the day. If you do see some slashes in the fast water mid day go with caddis patterns. Today looks similar to yesterday with the air temp hitting the upper 80’s, a few clouds, and wind 5 – 10 mph from the West. We are seeing some hendrickson spinners on some sections so don’t leave the river too early.
