Yesterday was cool with light rain which turned out well for fishing in the afternoon. Some people reported decent flushes of Hendricksons on some river sections while others saw the caddis come out. It took a while to warm up so the morning was a nymph / wet fly game. Today looks similar but with warmer air temps. The river flows bumped a bit from the rain but not enough to affect wading or floating. The rivers have peaked and are dropping back this morning so we came through the storms just fine.
Today will be 59 degrees with clouds and a possible afternoon shower. Total rainfall today should be .02″. Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South.
