T0day will be a lot like yesterday with bright sunshine and the air temp reaching 74 degrees. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. Hendricksons, apple caddis, a few quill gordons, and some blue quills are making up the bulk of the hatches. Some parts of the river will have the smaller “X” hendricksons hatching. Caddis have been active on some sections midday. This is definitely spinner weather so have some rustys ready and don’t get off the river too early. The flows are about the same as yesterday so the rivers are in decent shape for floating and wading. There is no significant rain in the 10 day forecast so conditions should stay the same through the weekend.
