The big rivers continue to drop slowly but remain to high to wade. The headwater streams and the Willowemoc are much better and safer choices if you’re not floating. We had decent sunshine yesterday afternoon and a warm night so the water temps are starting of a few degrees warmer today. The were a lot of little black caddis in the air yesterday afternoon so you can get lucky on dries in the long slow pools. Nymphing and streamers are still your best bet at these flows. The dry fly action will get better once the flows drop to normal levels.
Today should be absolutely beautiful hitting 70 degrees with sunshine. wind will be the lowest we’ve seen in a while at only 5 – 10 mph from the South. Ovenight temps will stay in the 50’s with a negligible .05″ of rain.
